Blickering and quarreling would. soon break off love affairs ; conseqpently. lovers indulge in such only to a limyed extent. But some people—men and women both —when they have once got marred, think that they may just do as they please, and it ‘will make no difference. It causes all the difference in the world. Women should grow more devoted and men more fond after marriage, if they have the sligh- est idea of being happy as wives or hus- bands. It is losing sight of this funda- mental truth which leads to hundreds of divorces. Yet, many a man will scold his wife, who would never think of breath- ing a harsh word to his sweet heart ; and many a wile will be glum and morose on her husband’s return, who had only smites to cheer him when he was her suitor. How can such people expect to be happy 4 ee Poison. If a person swallows any poison what- ever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded thestomach, an instan- taneous remedy, more efficient and appli- eable in a large number of cases than any half a dozen medicines, is a heaping tea-~ spoon of common salt and as much ground mustard stirred rapidly in a teacup of water, warm or cold and swallowed in~ stantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining contents of the stomach, and lest there be any remnant of the poison, however small, let the white of an egg or a teacup of strong coffee be swallowed as _ THE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY.

The price of novels is often low, the cost of them ino great. Miss W-———borrowed books, yet she payed seventy dollars in | one year for novels alone. an education. Mra.

Mr. OC———. pleaded want of means to aid the orphan asylum, yet he paid more than sixty ; dollars a year for novels for his daughters. , Novels have, in the last five years, cost the people ot the United States from twelve | to fifteen millions of dollars. For one for the interest of all parties who desire to see justice and fajr dealing prevail, that such tests be rigidly applied to every arti- cle of the kind in market. Attempts are now being made to ascertain, by means of chemical analysis, the commercial valuc of the principal fertilizers offered for sale. This is praiseworthy in design; but the result, 80 far, has been, we fear, to con- fuse still more the already perplexed far- mer. Last winter, for instance, Prof. White, of the Georgia State Agricultural College, set down the value of a sample of a popular fertilizer analyzed by him at ‘l'o another sample for the same fertilizer, subjected to analysis in March last, aud estimated on the same basis, is $34.77. affixed the sum of $54.63 as its true mon- ey value.

A flock of six hun- dred and eighty-four sheep were feeding, when they were suddenly surprised by a violent storm of wind and rain dashing in their faces. They instantly turned and ran away to escape the driving shower, bat, unfortunately, the path they gelected, led them straight to a deep pond, into which they plunged, one after another, and were all drowned. A poor dog, which was in charge of the flock, endeas vored to stop them, but the pressure of the trightened animals was so great that he was borne down and shared their fate. 'Uheir bodies were extricated the next day and buried in deep ditches dug close by. ‘The loss was estimated at nearly thirty thousand franes. —-—-—~ems A Good Laugh. Rev. Mr. Valmage in the Chrislain of Work, a most excellent weekly, writes : Even lambs frisk, and brooks frolic, and the ass, pronounced the most unemotion- al of beasts, seemed to use to have its sly facetiousness as on the way up to tho mer de glace Switzerland, it lifted its hind foot to scratch its right car and let us fall off. We never knew a man inea- prble of a laugh who was worth anything either to church or State. He might make a very good toy figure for the show window of a mourning store, but nothing else. We once sat in a church beside such a looking man; it was the only time we ever had our pocket picked. When such impenetrable people are in the room and we haye heard of something pleasant to tell we wait till they are gone, or else take our especial friend into the hall as though on a matter of private business, and bid him to smother his laughter in the waterproof on the hat rack.

Sketch of His Life—Remarks on the Scaffold—The Hanging. 5 John Allen Ketchey, the notorious criminal, was hanged in this place last Friday, in the pre- sent of a large crowd and a heavy guard. We present below a full account of the execution, prefacing it with a sketch of the life of this re- markable man: John Allen Ketchey was born in Rowan county, near this place, and at the time of his execution was about thirty-four years old. He was born of poor parents, and had only the commonest educational advantages, but always noted for brightness and shrewdness. His first known step in the downward course was the forgery of pay-rolls and furloughs in the army, and his subsequent desertion. Since then he has been notorio as a jail-breaker and horse- thief. He has Prvelet much and assumed successfully at different times the character of lawyer, preacher, doctor, &, humbugging un- suspecting people and generally rewarding them by stealing the best horses in the neighborhood. He has frequently broken from jails in differ- ent parts of the State as well as at one time, the Penitentiary of New York. The crime for yhich he hangs is alleged rape, upon Miss Milly Becheer, in Rowan county, in June, 1872. Before trial he escaped from jail, as nairated in his last speech, but recaptured in Salisbury some time after and re-committed to jail.—He was tried and condemned and an appeal taken to the Supreme Court, which re- fused to grant a new trial; and to-day, after two respites from the Governor, he was hang- ed. Ketchey was about 5 fect 8 inches high, dark hair, Roman, nose, intelligent and rather pre- possessing features, and gentlemanly address. Thee is much division of opinion here as to his guilt, but the Governor, after a patient hearing of his case decided not to interfere. Had his life been turned into other grooves he might have ended far differently. Ketchey was brought into a room of the jail, the window of which led to the scaffold. Re- ligious services were held by Rev. L. W. Craw- ford, of the Methedist Church,.who stated that Ketchey professed a hope of salvation, having made a confession of his sins to God, and, as he believed, received pardon through Jesus Christ. At 12 o’clock Ketchey was taken upon the scaffold, and as he was very weak, was seated onachair. He asked the spectators if they wished to hear any statements from him, and being answered in the affirmative, talked for three quarters of an hour ina rambling style, somewhat as follows :— “ My friends, in the first place, I wish to say that I am innocent of the charge for which my life is forfeited. I never had aught to do with this woman, except willingly. The reason I am here to-day is because of an intrigue against me between her and sy cousin, J. L. Ketchey. I allege this, and feel satisfied that for him I wouldn't be here to-day. I want you to under- stand it, gentlemen, that | am innocent of ever violating her person. No woman that ever lived can say I ever approached her in any such way “Another matter I wish to speak about is the report that [ burned John I Shaver’s barn, in this place.

This was great injustice to me. “The ministers here have been very good to me, and I trust their prayers and good ad- vice may make iy future happy in the world to come. I have suffered so much that, though unjustly deprived of my life, I feel that the change will be better for me; at least I hope and trust so. I don’t mind it as much as you might suppose. I thank the men here who have tried to get mea fair trial; failure docs not make me appreciate their kindness less. “It is suggested by one of the officers that I tell you how I made my escape from this jail. Shall I tell you ? (cries of yes.) Well, I pro- cured a bar of iron, how, I will not tell you,) made for the purpose, with which I broke the hasp of my door, and after walking round be- hind the cell in the passage, I called to the jailor to come up and let down the outside win- dow, as it was too cold. I fastened my chain, which had broke off, to my bed, and rolled up the blankets to look like a. man. When the jailor came up he called to me, and took hold of the chain and pufled on it, when itgave way, and while he was pulling on the chain, making a great rattling with it, and calling me, I walk- ed out and passed down the stairs and out. The Sheriff waa not to blame, the only thing he did wrong was to watch me too closely. “And now I have 2 word more to say in jus- tice to those left behind. My brothers and sisters never gave me any but the best of advice, and are not to blame for my crimes. And now gentlemen, I wish to say that if any in this crowd are ever ona jury in such a case, be sure and see that there is nothing wrong, no collusion between the parties at the bottom of it. Be sure and trace it back thoroughly. IJ have no more to say, but that [ have forfeited my life innocently. I am not guilty.” “When, he had finished, the cap and noose were adjusted, and Sheriff Wagoner severed the rope with a stroke, at 5 minutes to one o'clock, and John A llen Ketchey, the notorious criminal, was launched into eternity. The fall broke his neck, and he died without a struggle or museular contraction, ee Monuments, scientific schools in honor of the illustrious dead, avd memorial halls, are all the rage now at the North. —__-__—__ -~— Ww.

In the House of Representatives, at Washington, during the reeeut debate on appropriations, Mr. Clymer, of Pennsyl- vania, gave ulterance to the following eloquent bat tra'bhful indictment against the Radical party : “If what has just been etated ly the Chairman on Appropriations be true, it is but corroborative of the opinion long entertained on this side of the chamber, that the number of offices and the pay attached thereto under the existing Administration are too great. More than once this has been asserted and shown. So far as I can remember we have re: ceived but one answer, which consists of denunciations prior to 1860 ; the ‘design being to conceal existing abuses and ex- travagance. And no ont has done so more persistently than my colleague. Judge Kelly, who, when his bill was under consideration, on a former debate, took occasion to assert concerning the adiwinistration of James Buchanan that “there never had been snch a’ season of profligacy as those same four years.” Sir, during those four years parivy in private and integrity in public life were the rule and not the exception. During those years elections were free and not controlled by military authority ; the freedom of speech ana of the press were not abridged ; the right of the people to be secure in their persons and effects was not exhibited ; the right of trial by jury was not denied ; no cruel or unnecessary punishments were inflicted ; innocent men were not arrested by the “tinkling of a bell,” and left to languish in the fortresses of the United States during the pleasure of a President or Secretary ; and innocent woman were not hanged. Then, sir, there was neither unbridled taking of gifts, nor whoclsale appointing of relatives to office. ‘There were no ‘Black Fridays’ to be inquirerd into; no corners in gold or in stocks to be ac- counted for ; and no ‘Icet and Stocking’ jobs to be execrated, Collectors of cus~ toms were not forced to resign by oat- raged merchants, nor were Presidential letters needed as ‘bills of health’ for ex- posed and depose dofficials. Innumerable and unncessary oftices were not created to support in uselessuess and _ idleness the barnacles clinging to the party craft, and the presence of the Federal tax-gath- erer never darkened the door of either the rich or the poor. Then, sir, Presidential and other salaries were not increased, neither was the ‘I'reasury depleted by the use of con- tingent funds for tlhe case, splendor and luxury of high officials. Our ships of war were not used as_ pleasure boats, nor were the soldiers of the Republic employ~ ed as menials in the streets and houses of this capital. During those four yeas a Vice-Presi- dent of the United States was not in complication with infamous practices, and sent to his home in shame and dis- honor. ‘Then, sir, no man questioned the integrity of the Congress of the United States, nor was it compelled to purge itself of those who had steeped themselves in infamy, by their connec tion with fraudulent schemes, such as were exposed by the “Credit Mobilier investigation of the 42ud Congress. In those years sovereign States were not reduced to a condition of vassalage, their treasure equandcred and stolen, and their pleasant places made everywhere desolate by the hand of the despoiler. The very dregs of northern vagabondism were not forced into their highest execu- tive and legislature positions by fraud and yiolence, aad kept there by the de- erees of a corrupt judiciary, sustained by Federal bayonets in defiances of the wiil of the people. Then, sir, from under the very shadow of the Capitol cry from the people to be relieved or pro- | more.’ simiplicity in official life and manners, and there was vo aping of regal magnifi cence in establishment, intereourse or equipage. ‘There, sir, are some of the things which did not exist, and did not oceur, and were not done, during the sdminis- tration of James Bachanan, that ‘“scason of profligacy” referred to Ly my colleague Did time permit many others might be enumerated held forth for general detes- tation and execration. But, sir, if these things do exist, have occurred, and are done in this “season of profligacy,”’ which has been of fourteen dreary years dura- tion, itis not difficult to determine the responsibility. And, siz, of all these high crimes and misdemeanors, of all these sins of omis- sion and commision, of all these invasions of the rights and liberties of the people, of all these violations of the Ccnstitution and the law, I here and now arraign the party to which my colleague belongs before the bar of the American people. ——_ ~~ Autobiography of a Cotton Bale. IN TWO CHAPTERS. CHAPTER I. I was raised in Wake county, North Jarolina, by a farmer of moderate means. At an early age I learned from a convers sation between the farmer and a neigh- bor that I and the land on which I was raised was mortgaged toa Baltimore firm, who had furnished fertilizers for the soil, and also toa Raleigh merchant who bad sold supplies of Western bacon and corn for the support of the field hinds, and Northern hay and oats for the males. The farmer complained that necessity had forced him to pay a very high rate of in- terest for the use of the capital invested in the above mentioned fertilizers and farm supplies, and that he had in addi- tion to pay a heavy fee for drawing and recording the mortgaged securing the commission merchants. I noticed that the mules on the farm were poorly fed and that as they passed the lot gate they eagerly nipped a few bunehes of luxuriant clover which had sprung up from seeds dropped out of the Northern oats. ‘The farmer said, as the mules passed on, “1 would scw an acre in clover but I need all my best land for cotton.” I have nothiug very remarkable to tell cencerning my youthful days. I obser- ved that the hands employed in the field were very poorly clad. Most of them wore coarse, cheap, Nortlera made clothes, shoes aud hats, from their rude talk 1 found they had very little educati n. ‘The wives aud children of these faiin laborers frequently came to the field, and I saw that the women wore Northern calice dresses and that the children were grow- ing up in ignorance. After being picked and packed I was taken to Raleigh. ‘Vhe commission mer- chant said to the farmer: ‘Cotton is flat to-day, but we expect it will go up soon.”’ The farmer sighed and replied: ‘well, I guces I went into a large new brick store, and aecidently heard the merchant say to his clerk : ‘Insure this bale of cot- ton and charge Mr. A. with insurance and storage.” some time when the farmer came in one day and the merchant eaid to him, “Cot- ton is no better, but I am compelled to have some money.

I believe when Mr. ‘Tacker’s clerk broke the thread of my disconrse, I was making a calculation. I had told how the following persons realized profits ou me : 1. The Raleigh Cotton Fattory. 2. The Railroads and Steam lines. 3. The Insurance Agents. 4. The Baltimore Merchant. 5. The Northern Railroade. G. The Northern Insurance Compans ies. 7. The Manufacturer. 8 The Wholesale Merchant. <2 ). Phe Rail Roads on return freight. 10. The Insurance inen on retarn risk. 11. The Retail Dealer ‘These parties all ehowed a deep interest in me, and T wish to say I entertain no unkind feelings toward any of them. The profits they realised from me were legitimate and proper. But, I feel very kindly for the man who mised me, and when J considered that he paid all these aceumalated profits, added to the origins al cost, I did not wonder that he dressed poorly and was hard pressed to sapport his family. I have traveled aroand and listened to calculating men talk, and [ intend to whisper a little to him by the Crescent What I want to say ie. Raise your own hoge. Don’t buy Wes- tern bacon ata high price, when cotton is liable to be at a low price. Sow an acre or two in clover. It will save corn and en-~ able you to fecd your teams better, and will cost yon less than Northern oats and hay. It willenable you to feed your cows better, and they will give more and better milk and butter. Your calves will grow larger and make finer cattle. Dou't kecp too many cattle. [aise your own corn and wheat. Don't plant all cotton. If your land is poor, sow peas and im- prove it. Save all your barn-yard mai ure, compost your vegetable mold, aud don’t buy worthless fertilizers. And when I get through whispering to the farmer, I want to say a word to Capl- talists. Cotton must be raised in the South. There will always be a demand for the manufactured article. We have water powers in abundance. If Northern Man- ufacturers can pay transportation and in surance on the raw-matcrial aud manu- facture it on the frozen streams of New England, aud realize handsome profits, why cannot the Southern manufacturer, who can purchase it at his door without treight and insurance charges, compete successfully with the Noithern Manufac- turer? Our water-powers are as good ; streams arc seldom frozen ; our climate is better; we can work more days in the year ; labor can be had as cheap. Besides making large profits on the capital inves~ ted, you will give employment to our poor women and chiidren, and the cost of manufacturing instead of enriching men a thousand miles away will be spent with our own merchants and tradesmen, and thus improve the condition of our own State. I do not wish to be misunderstood. I do not desire North Carolinans to invest their capital in factories beease I enter« tain anv ankind fecling for Northern peo- ple. I have had enough for sectionalism. I was once known as a King Cotton, but my crown if not cnlirely ruined is badily damaged by sectional difficalti:s. I only mention the North becanse most of our staple is manufactured there. I wish to ace all our people, North and South, pros- per, but I can sce nothing like prosperity for the South —for North Carolina—until her people learn to raise their own food, manufacture thcir own staples, and give employment to their own machanics.— Raleigh Screscent. In Paris now, since the Metternich- Montebello duel, before a lady goes toa ball, the husband whispers uervously, “My dear, pray be civil to Mr. So-and-s0;” or, “Eugenie, for Heaven's eake, don’t frown at at Count Caskowhirki.” The ladies, profiting Ly the circumstance, induce their timid lords to comply with all their wishes. “Henri, if you don’t buy me that bonnet, Ill insult M.

Hesver, so well known by his villainies as a revenue detective in this State, was nominated by the President as Marshal ot North Carolina, and it will be gratifying for them to hear that the nomination was rejected by the Senate by a decided mas jority. No greater indignity or insult could have been offered to the people of Easton Carolina by the President, for no man was more cordially despised by them than Hesrer. Contemptible, knavish and brutal, he deserved aud received the rcorn and loathing of every citizen of the State who had the Jeast regard for decen-~ cy orhonesty. For this one act of gra- ciousness, in the name of all the good people of the State, we thank the Sen- ate.— News. It has been Grant’s delight to appoint the greatest scoundrels to office whenever a vacancy occurred. We have rarely known him to fail when an appointment was offered. That greatand unscrupulons rascul, Gov. Shepherd, after all hig infa- mousacts, was only a few days ago appoin- ted by the President on the Washington District commission; butthe Senate would net confirm the appointment. Evca Logan, of Obi, puked, declaring that the offering by the President such a chars ter as Shepherd, was an insult to the Senate. — ae — Miss. Laura Alexander. We regret to sce that a few North Caroliva papers bave thoughtlessly given circulation to what is evidently a vile slander in regard to Laura Alexander. We would have thought that the charac. ter and,virtues of this talented but unfor- tunate young lady would have protected her, in her, own State at least, from slan. dersemanating from the pen of a sensational writer, who, after being divorced from her husband, is engaged in lucturing in pub-~ lic in Georgia. Miss Alexandei’s ancestors for several generations have shed renown and honor upon North Carolina, and no family in the State is more. intimately ox more hon- orably connected with its history. She was no degenerate daughter of these worthy ancestors, but a high-toned, Chris-~ tian woman, whose hard but unsuccessful struggle with the world rather excite the kindly sympathy than provoke the harsh and false criticism of her protect her memory from slander in the columns of North Carolina pa pers.— Wilmington. We agree with the Journal that Miss. Alexander should be allowed to rest in the Eastern District of | now « ore. Barely, have hadenough of her through the N. C. Press. We do not think that the pro- fession of an actress is at all to be com~ mended. There are many good women, no doubt, engaged in it, yet it is not such a life as we would recommend to the young ladies of the South. We care not how beautiful, how talented, or how blood- ed the young lady may be, we do not think she adds any thing to these by be- coming an actress. Besides, not one in a hundred succeed. Success in such a pro- fession is too often the result of fearful sacrifices. Wedo not think there was any thing in the example of Miss. Alcx- ander to impress any on® favorably with the profession. On the other hand, we think thesad fate of this young lady should eause every one who may be at all in- clined to engaged in it, to ponder well the propreity of such an undertaking. ee “WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? The day of election is rapidly advances ing, and so far there has been but litile done on the part of candidates to sccure a Democratic-Conservative triumph. The nominees of the County Convention scem to be trusting to their own personal popu- larity or depending on the party to carry them through without an effort on their part. If this is to be the policy, we fear there will be some disappointments. No one who has accepted or who intends to accept the nomination for any position, should quictly sit down with the expecta- tion of being carried through by persona! friends or party organization. Men who accept nominations are expected to aid and strengthen the party in every way possible: —They are expected to work to secure thorough organization—to labor for all the nominees, to go forth among the people and urge them to go to the polls. In short, they are expected to do whatever is possible to cflect a complete party triumph. Now, what are the candidates in this fort on their part as yet. It is to be hoped that one and all will bestir themselves.— We shall help them all we can, but we expect cach to do something for himself. Every one ought to have an announcement in the Wafehman. Our circulation in the county was aever better, aud many per- sons will be reached in this way that would not otherwise be. In other counties can- didates, cither insert a card in their county papers, or muke out a full- list of the nomi- necs of the respective partics und publish it as an advertisement. Gentlemen, of course, can do as they please about this matter. ‘The small pittance that we would derive from the adoption of this sugges- tion, is of 10 consequence to us, while it will prove of great importance to the can- didates themsclves, as well as to the pars ty, since we have no speakers iu the field, or ucxtto none. Mvery candidate should be out and at work. ‘I'he party expect it of its nominees. There is too little con- cern manifested. The people must be waked up or we will full behind our usual vote this summer. — 1). pend upon it the Rads will vote their full strength, What are the Conservaiises’goin to do about it? —~ see — At no time since the war have the friends of good and honest government, of Demo- cratic principles and of reform, been favs ored with such an opportunity for sucecss as that which this ycar offered. Every thing seemed to work together for good to the Democratic party—eyery thing was promisnig in the highest degree. he star of rotten Radicalism had begun to wane, while the most flattering prospect of a Democratic triumph and the inauga- ration.of an era of howesty, peace, and prosperity, was bright and brightening.— To add to this hopeful and satisfactory anticipation, the Radical party, as if craz- ed with power and determined to throw it away, through their leaders in Congress voted to fix upon the white people of the country uegro equality, miscegenation, and degradation. After this last crown ing act of diabolism and outrage, there should be bat one sentiment among the peo- ple of the South, and that sentimen the su- premacy of the white race; but one purpose, and that purpose eternal opposition to Rads icalism ; but one organization, and that or- ganization the WITITE MAN’S PAR. TY ; yet not so. Thirst for office, dema- goguism, and alarming indifference or criminal negligence on the part of the people, promise now to destroy all the bright chances of suceess with which the year opened, and to throw us disarmed and helpless at the mercy of the advocas tes of the loathing Civil Rights measure. Notwithstanding the pressing impor- tance of united action, in view of the cor rupt rule of our opponents, there is no concert of action and but little harmony among Conservatives. Many thinys have conspired to bring this about: We have too many aspirants for office ; ‘there is too little interest taken by the people in pub. lic matters, and when they have acted at all, they have been too inconsiderate of the services of their best men. Conses quently, inharmony and dissatisfaction throughout our entire ranks. As far as we have been able to ascertain, our best men in nearly every county have been left out—iguored—and for the most par, S s . tion inexperience and county doing? -We have heard of no ef- dical party § epee @; official sta- stupidity, yet a large proportion of the nominess for the Legis- tature in our State this year, as far as they have been announced, are inexperienced, incompetent, and absolutely ignorant of the current events of the day. They can neither make speeches, talk nor vote in- telligently. ae An individual, in order to. make laws must not only be well posted, educated, and clear headed, but. he should have a cleat idea of the mysteries of the law and of the proper construction and meaning. of language. Without these qualifications he is incompetent asa mere voter, and can only vote intelligently when he is proper- ly instructed by some one else. Is there then any economy, propriety, or sensé iu sending men to the Legislature, who are incapable of performing intelligently the simplest dutics of the position? Sarely there is not: In counties where sach nom- inations have been made the people can not now do better that. to instruct their nominees definitely as to what they wish them to do. But for bad nominations, there would have been few Independent Candidates. As it is, there are this year an unusually large number of independents, and. less interest manifested on the part of the bet- ter class of citizens than ever before.— Some body is to blame, who is it? That the more competent, able, experienced and working Conservatives have been gener- ally ignored, while the less informed, un- sophistcated and inexperienced, and less zealous have been pushed forward, can not be denied. And this policy has well nigh ruined us. It will not do to under- take to proscribe the men who have spent their time and their money in behalf. of Conservative principles, good and honest government, in order to make room for those who have done nothing and whose political status, in many cases, is really doubtful. There is time yet todo much to repair the great wrong that has been done between this and the day of election. Let an cffort be made to restore harmony —to bring out, if possible, all the good and true men in the State. If we fail to do it, there is no telling what the complexion of our next Legislature will be. We may get a Legisiature that will sell the State out, root and branch, there is no telling now. We will certainly have a weak one do all we can. But they can be instruct- ed before they leave home. ——_—__~-__-___ ROBBINS & COOK. These gentlemen have met, and we un- derstand it is a very one-sided matter.— Robbins with his usual ability and elo- queuce carries everything before him.— Cook will be badly beaten. It is thoaght that he will not get anything like the vote that was given Mr. Furchase two years ago. eee COMMENCEMENT AT DA- VIDSON COLLEGE. The late commencement at Davidson Col- lege, closing on the 25th of June, has been exceeded in interest, by few, if any, since 1340, when the first class was graduated.— This institution has taken rank, in thorough- ness of scholarship, and in propriety of de- partment and good order, among the first colleges of the land. And itis a rare feast to see and hear what is to be seen aud heard at its annual commeucement. On the Sab- bath preceeding, the Rev. Alex. Martin, D. D., of Danville Va., delivered an earnest and scholarly Baccalaureate sermon ou “Faithfulness in Little Things.” This dis- course elicited universal commendation. The Rev. A. F. Dickson, of Chester S. C., preached the annua] sermon before the Williams asscciation on Sabbath evening.— His object was to refute the popular ob- jections to missionary efforts, and he accom- plished his task with ability. Tuesday evening was taken np by the two literary societies, in their closing exer- cises. The general public is not admitted to these assemblages, and those of us who have the entree must not make any disclos- ures. So far as our experience goes, the order observed among these young imen is uot exeelled by any parliamentary body with which we are acquainted. On Wednesday mornirg, the Rev. M. D. Hoge, D. D., of Richmond Va., who has been rendering similar services, in the Sim- onton Female College, aud the Charlotte Female Institute, deliyered a most charmiug aud eloquent address ou “Some Missing Links iu Popular Education.’ To those who have heard this eloquent divine, it is only necessary to state that it was in his happiest’vein—tu those who have not had that pleasure, no yerds cau deseribe the power—the spell, with which he enchains an audience, as he ranges over the fields of thought, ‘from grave to gay, froin lively to severe.”” With fine natural gifts, there can be no doubt that he has studied the art of public speaking until he has acquired that ‘highest art. which is to conceal art.’? It would be well if more of our young men, who are to address their fellow men, at the bar, in legislative halls, or in the pulpit, would study the best means of moving the minds of 1nen by the use of acceptable words. And there is no more pressing need in all our coileges than for a teacher, who shall be able, not only to give precepts in regard to the most effectiye use of langaage and gest- ure, but who shall himself bea model for imitation. In the afternoon, Dr. J. G. Ramsay, one of the first graduates of the College, deliver- ed an address before the Alumvi. It, was an garvest, and well-conveiyed address, intend- ren a similar ‘these addresses detect 8 enthusiasm in each, and the same earnest desire to serve the cause of education. May he be spared to perform-the same office, a uatter of a centar . \ wis to be ater tenas so few -of thé Alumni were present. -~A college can have no more faithful and efficient friends, than its graduates. We would be glad tosee them assemble annually, and elect a small number of Trustees ofthe college. Some such solid business as this would attract them, and keep alive their devotion to their Alma Mater, The two literary societies occupied Wed- nesday night. The Eumenean Society was represented by B. H. Rice, Murfreesboro, Tenn. on *‘Sin- gleness of Purpose.” A. B. Coit, Charlotte, N.C. on ‘Commu- nism.” R. P. Davis, Charlotte, N. C. vn ‘Our His- toriang.’ The Philanthropic Society by, * John Whitehead, Salisbury, N.C. ou ‘Six- teenth Century.” & James H. Morrison, “Atheville, N. C. on “Rights.” “kG J. P. Irwin, Charlotte, N. C. on “Utilitaria- ism.” But Thursday is the grandest day of the occasion. ‘The immense ‘Chambers Hall,” seating over twelve hundted persons, was filled to its utmost capacity, the majority being ladies—most of them young ladies— many of them beautiful young ladies. Such a fluttering of fans is rarely witnessed. Per- haps there is also a fluttermg of hearts, when these recluses: mount the rostrum, and gaze upon the billouwey sea of loveliness. Prof. Latimer, occupying the chair of Metaphysics, entertained the audience with an inaugural address of over an hour’s length, upon such delightful and intelligiblethemes, as ‘Whether we have an immediate consci- ousness of the external world?” and *‘Wheth- er a thing can act where it is not?” ete.— The address was eutirgly “iechnical,” as it was intended tu be, and it was a masterly effort, proving that the Professor, though still in his “twenties,” is perfectly at homme among the abstruse discussions of this 1ost iutricate of all the sciences. And though a few of the ladies got wearied with his ‘ter- tium quids,” ‘sine qua nons,” ete. The au- dience listened with reasonable attention, and were doubtless as much edified as they were by the next oration, viz: Mr. Fogar- tie’s Latin Salutatory =| The speeches of the graduating class were in good taste and were well delivered. The following was the order. Latin Salutatory, James E. Pogartie, Char- leston. S.C. Philosophical Oration, M. M. MeKay, Eefau- la, Ala. Tunovation, J. Luckey Steele, Rowan co. N.C. Man's Place in Nature, J. Alston Ramsay, Salisbury, N, C. Tufluence of the World’s Opinion, J. E. Kel- ly, Carthage, N.C. The Divine Purpose Manifested in Geology, Kiah P. Julian, Salisbury, N.C. Value of Art, Mariou C. Britt, Griffin Ga. Boys and Girls of the Day, Geo. R. McNeill, Tredell co. N.C. Uuity of Force, (Scientific,) F. H. Fries, Salem, N.C. : Valedictory Addresses, Win. R. Moore, Troy, Tenn. It was pleasant tosee that our young friends from Rowan, Steele, Ramsay and Julian had prominent places in the programme, and that they acquitted df€mselves with honor. We shall look for them to make a good re- cord for themselves in the future. The ‘Rockwell Prize,” for proficiency in the Latin language, awarded to a member of the Sophomore class, was earried off this year by Tho$, McGehee of Person co, N.C., amid the applause of lis fellow students, and of the audience. As a Reporter of anuther paper states it, “Taken allio all the Commencement at Davidson College was a great success.’ As usnal there were wauy visitors there, and there was good order. And, thanks to the N, C. Legislature for amendments to the charter, there were no spirituous liquors sold there on that occasion. While the college is thus adding auother success-to the many already achieved, the Trustees have been busy in manning the college with able embers of the Faculty. During the sessions they elected the fullow- ing, viz: Rev. A. D. Hepburn, Prof. of Latin and French. Mr, Thorptgp, of Va. Prof. of Greek and Germau. Sam’l, Barnet Jun. of Ga. Adjunct Prof. of Mathematics. Mr. Hepburn will be recollected as one of the most successful professors of Chapel Hill, in its palmiest days. “With Professors Pt il- lips aud Martin from the University Faculty, Davidson College can appeal to the young men ofthe State of N. C, with confident hope of awakening theirinterest, and with the assur- ance, though uvt a State institution, she ap- preciates those who have been and are a- mong the State’s inost approved and succes- ful educators. Prof. Thornton comes to us, after having run a distinguished course in the University eof Va., aud with several years experience in teaching. Prof. Barnet after graduating with high honors in the Uniyersity of Ga.. filled the chair of Mathematics in the University of La., until that institution was suspended. — Profs. Blake and Latimer have come to us from 8. C., and have already won enviable Tepatations among us. With these seven men from Va., N.C., S. C., and Ga., all having successful experience, it is no longer a problem whether a finished education can be obtained in the Seuth East. While the Central University in Ky., and’ the Sonth Western University in Tenn., are struggling for their existence, which we hope they will achieve, Davidson, as the University of the South East, has already achieved a name aod reputation, and is on the high road to $60. Since then the price increased, in many cases two fold. ButDa- vidson still held her tuition at $50 per an- num..which wag $25 below the average of all thb teadtok, dotlegiSe in the country. Of late years the friends of the college have Maken a new depatturé, abd Tastéad of mak- | ing cheapness a primary object. they ‘have set excellence,'a high grade of scholarship, as their principal aim, ° With this changeof aim, a large number of professors,’ better |. facilities for study, more perfect’ apparatus, museums, tte, etc, have been introduced.— and after these introdustions, still another, hag been demanded, viz, a higher rate of tui- tion. The Trustees have therefore raised the tuition almost to the average, i-e $70 perannun. The increase of income thus acquired will furnish additional facilities for study, and thus still further entitle the col- lege to the respect and confidence of all the friends of thorough education. Last but not least by any means, the Sal- isbury Cornet Band, led by Prof. E. B. Neave furnished their exquisitely sweet mus - ic forthe vccasion. The effect of this music was peculiarly pleasant to the promevaders by moonlight. We hopethat the students will coutiuue to secure the services of this band. “OCCASIONAL.” od How to judge of one another. Says Beech- er: Kindness to our fellows is one of the first requisites of godiness. We are not to serve God by walking over other men’s heads. We are to honor all men ; treat every man as though he was made of God, see throifgh the lens the vastness of his possible future of glory. An acorn is emall but the full grown oak may shade an acre. Not all temples and works of artcan equal in grandeur the brain from whence they sprung. We are not to seek for fallings to fill the chalice, which is from below, not from on high. No evil report lacks listen- ers. Ship are not sent to sea if there is no harbor for them to land their cargoes. It is rare that a gathering of half a dozen persons does not greedily hear a tail of scandal ; scarce- ly a church which not adversely critizise other churches. We exalt the virtues of friends and condemn the balance of mankind. This springs from the selfishness and fills society with wretch- edness. We throw out ichor, not bount). Re- ligion becomes the mother of uncharity, sepra- ting, disintegratig and arraying men against one another. Men do not form just judgment of one another. Parents who sympathize with their children are most apt to do this ; and it is this spirit of sympathy that weshould judge the acts of our jellows. A Brilliant Record of Cures. An American humorist tells us that it would have been money in his pocket if he had been born without a stomach, and then proceeds te figure up the cost of a chronic dyspepsia, to which he is a martyr, and which he says it is possible to cure. On this point, “Josh Billings,” (for he is the party referred to) is mistaken. Unless his stomach differs from all other dys- peptic stomachs, Hostetter’s Bitters, will cure him in less than three months. This it would be sife to guarantee under any penality. There are a few, avery few, actual specifics for dis- ease in ixistence, and Hostetter’s Stomach Bit- ters may be set down as one of them. In cases of indigestion it never fails. Persons who had suffered for many years almost every conceiva- ble species of torture from this agonizing com- plaint, have been permanently curcd with the sitters in six wecks. Hundreds of such in- stances are on record, authenticated by the tes- timony of prominent men in every walk of life. eminent physicians among the number. But this celebrated vegetable preparation is some- thing more than a stomachic and tonic. It is also an alterative of wonderful virtue. In liver complaint its effect is as direct and immediate as that of calomel or blue pill, and far, more salutary ; and in all dixeased conditions of the bowels, notably in cases of constipation, its regulating properties are in the highest degree serviceable. The new settlements in the west and all low-lying tracts of country infested with miasmatic exhalations, so fruitful at this seas- on, of the various types of intermittent fevers, should be always well stocked with this incom- parable chologue, which will cure any case of fever and ague in a period varying from three days to three or four weeks, according to the violence of the complaint. Nervous disorders which are always aggravated by the adulterated liquors usually prescribed by the physicians, are readily cured by a course of this admirable combination medicine, in which the properties of a stimulant, a tonic and alterative are hap- pily blended. PAIN-KILLER, 1840. 1874, Time Tests the Merits of all Things. Thirty Years is certainly lung enough time tu prove the efficacy of any medicine and that the Paiu Killer is deserving of all its propri- etors claim for it. is amply proved by the unparalleled popularity it has attained. It is a sure and effective remedy. It is sold in almost every country in the world, and aeeds ouly to be known to be prized, and its repu- tation as a Medicine of Great Virture, is ful- ly and permanetly established. It is the great Family Medicine of the age. Taken internally, it cures Dysentery, Cholera, Di- arrhoea, Cramp and Pain in the Stomach. Bowel Complaint, Painter’s Colic, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or indigestion, Sud- den Colds, Sore Throat and Coughs. Taken externally, it cures Bruses, Boils, Felons, Cuts, Burns. Scalds, Old Sores and Sprains, Swellings of the Juints, Toothace. Pain in the Face, Neuralgia and Rheumatism, Chap- ped Hands, Frost Bitten Feet, &c. Pai: is supposed to be the lot of us peor mortals, as inevitable as death, and liable at any tine to come upon us. Therefore, it is important that remedial agents should be at hand to be used in emergency, when we are wade to feel the exgruciating agouy of pain, or the depressing itMluences uf disease. Such a remedial exists in Perry Davis’ «Pain Kil- ler,” the fame of which has extended over all the earth. Amid the eternal ices of the Polar regions, or beneath the intolerable and burning suns of the tropics its yirtures are known and appreciated, And by it suffering humanitd has found relief from mauy of its ills. The effect of the Pain Killer upon the patient, when takea internally in éases of Cough, Cold, Bowel Complaint, Cholera, Dysentery, and other affections of the sys- tein, has been truly wonderful, and has won tor ita name among medical preparations that can never be forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as an external remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores and Sprains, Cuts, Stings of insects, &c., and other caus- es of suffering has secured for jt the most prominent position among the medicines of the day. Beware of counterfeits and worth- less imitations, Call for Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, and take no other. &F Sold by all Druggists and Grocers. a te bene of all things bas | Cool Pe se t e At all the appoifftments speaking will com- mence at 1 olclock P.

Further Details of the Catas- trophe. The dispatches yesterday give further details of the disastér at the Baptist chureh in Syracuse, N.Y. The list of killed numbers thirteen, and of the wounded one hundred, of whom twenty are seriously injured - ‘The occasion of the gathering was a festival giveu by the ladies of the church and a concert by the “Little Old Folks.” At the rear of the church are the Sun- day school room, occupying the first floor, and the church parlors, occupying the secoud fluor, This part of the edifice waz in use for the festival and concert.— At the time of the accident supper waa being ecrved in the central parlor, which had been prepared for the occasion with tables, &c. ‘This room which was forty feet square, was filled with people, the sessicn room below being deserted save by a few persone. The number in the supper-room was variously estimated at from two hundred and fifty to five hundred, mostly grown persous. At the.time the floor gave way the children uf the congregation were in one of the ante-rooms being prepared for the “ancient concert.” But for this fact alone the list of dead must have been very much larger. At the moment of the falls ing of the fluor the scene within the parlor was one of happy enjoyment. While all were pleasantly engaged, without a single sign of warning, the floor suddenly sank beneath them, and in a moment the hap- py throng found themselves buricd iu a masse of struggling humanity, mtermixed with falling timbers, furniture, &e., and in utter darkness, the gas having been extin- guished by tho breaking of the gas pipes. ‘Ike decent of the floor was aceompans ied with terrible crushing of timbers, and from the endangered human beings went up horrible cries for aid. For an instant alter the fearful decent had been made all was silent, but immediately after heart- rendering appeals for help were to be heard from hundreds of those who were in agony. Immediavely after persons were seen issuing from the doors and windows, which were smashed by the frightened people, and an alarm rounded. The aninjured within the church who were able to free themselves from the mass began at once to assist in reecuing the others, The firemen and police were quickly at hand, and labored nobly in the work of rescue. Entrance to the church was at once stopped, and none were al- lowed to enter except those engaged in taking out the inmates. ‘The scene within the building was ter- rible in the details, and that without the edifice heartr:nding, fathers and moth- ers searching for their children, husbands looking for their wives, wives inquiring for husbands, brothers for sisters, and children for their parents, of whose fate all Were uncertain and in dread. Quietly but ropidly the work of extri- cauing the people was carried on by the aid of lanterns. While some busied them« selves with shoving up slanting sections ot the floor, many others were aiding men, women and children to free themselves, and as fast as the living and dead ‘we:e rescued they were passed out through windows and doors, where ready hands assisted to convey the dangerously injnr- ed and dead to physicans offices and neigh- boring houses. The work was vigoursly but slowly prosecuted, and before midnight the last of the living and dead had been taken Out. The floor which fell was snspended by iron rods from a wooden truss under the roof. These rods went through the lows er bat not through the upper chord of the truss. ‘The lower chord had been spliced wrong side ap, and that point was the first to give way. The floor having no props beneath it sunk in the form of the letter V. Most of the deaths were caused by falling timbers of the truss. Some of the victims, however, were smothered by the plastering. The floors of the church were supplied originally witb iron pillars. A short time ago the chareh building committee, with the consent, as they say of the architect, removed the iron pillars. The result was the calamity ot Tuesday vight. naturalist, Join J. Audubon, died in Kelleyville, Ky., on the 18th ingt, aged able attainments, and was a constan, companion of her husband _in_ his labor, and travels, visiting the principal Court, of Enrope in bis company, and for many years past, since his death, she has lived with her relatives in this city and State. Real Hydrophobia at Last. [New York Tribune. } The death of Mr. Batler by hydropho- bia is the most notable event in the histo- ry of that disease. For a qnarter of a century Mr. Butler has been a sort of {o- cal authority on all matters pertaining to canine pets, and he was not leas widcly known in spoiting circles as a dog-fancier than among all clases in the community as the man to consult upon all matters concerning dogs, from the trimming of their ears to their gravest maladies. Like all men who have had much to do with dogs, he langhed at their popular notion about their tendency to madness, and has written frequently on the subject, deery- ing the common fear of hydrophobia. Tis letters have in past years been widely published. Le doubted whether the dis- ease of canine madness bad a real exis- tenee, and he was quite convinced that at all events its occurrence ig so rare that there is no need of taking precautions a- gainst it ‘The coeaviction has cost him his life. Nevertheless we believe that his views were in the main correct, and that where one death from actual hydrophobia occurs in the humane species, there are at least a score of fatal cases that are simp- ly the result of intensified fear. It does not appear from the report of the medical treatment that any of the methods were tried which have been res ported as so successful in subduing this malady. ‘I'rue, we were spared the story of the barbaric treatment which was cus tomary many years ago — and _ hae been repeated in rural loealities. within recent years—of smothering the unfortunate pa- ticnt auder feather beds to put him out of his misery. Bat the ucar equiva'ent of such treatment, it scems to us, is that which simply consisted in relieving his sufferings with narcotics and permitting the disease to take its fatal course. It has been stated over and over again by specialists in the medical profession, more than one of whom bas dealt with the symptoms of this disease in his own per gon, that it yields to treatment with high temperature in baths or vapor during the paroxysms, and that itis perfectly sus- ceptible of prompt and radical cure. It is a source for great regret that no such treatment seems to have been tried in this case, not ouly for the sake of the individ- uals life that might perhaps have been saved, but for the sake of the needless alarms the occurrence may occasion in the community, Let it be generally av. derstood that true rabies is rarer than al most any other known form of disease, and that the chances of death from it as compared with those from indigestion after a badly cooked dinner are as one to a hundred, and there will be less occasion for sensible people to cross the strect whenever they see a dog on the side- walk, JAS.

"Dr. Js Walker's California Vin+ egar Bitters are a purely V made, chiefly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower of tte Sicrra Novada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which . are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled suceess of VineGaR Bit- TERS?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the paticnt re- cevers his health. They are the great » Llood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the . history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable , qualities of Vixsecar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease’ man is heir to. ey are a gentle Purgative as well as 4 Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver wae Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dr. Waxer’s VixeGar Birrers are Aperient, pia rere Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. oo t Grateful ‘thousands proclaim Vix- EGAR BITrexs the most wonderful In- vigorant that ever sustaincd the sinking system. . No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Kilious, Remittent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Dkgois, Teunessee, Cumberland, Arkan- s®@ Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire cofintry during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea- sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de. rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their trew#timent, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful induence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. ‘There is no cathartic for the purpese equal to Dr. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BILrens, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, et tho eame time stimulating tke secretions of tue liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs.

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no Atal. Such Discases are caused by Vitinted Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, a3 they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard agaiust this, take a dose of WALKER’s YIN- EGAR Birrers occaxionally. For Skin Discases, Eruptions, Tct- ter, Salt-Rhenin, Blotches, Spets, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Eryxipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Iumors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the systeu) in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelininitics will free the system frum worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the bl pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. H. McDONALD & CO., Druggists and Gen. A¢ts.. Sau Francisco, California, and cor. of Wushington and Chariton Sts., N. Y.

Early Cut Grass Best. - The Garman papers publish details of a series of experiments carried on at the agriculturakechools of fatherland for the purpose of testing the nutritive properties of grass and hay at various stages.. The experiments were initigted by the excess» ive demand for forage in Germany, Lut are not the less valuable on that aceonnt. By an elaborate series of aualyses, it is shown why young grass is more nutriti- ous than mature grass. ‘I'he physiologi- cal experiments-sbow that it is more easi-~ ly digestible, ‘Thus grass 2 inches ‘high contains nearly 50'cent. more of alba noids than grass which is 6 inches. hig and JO more of “crude fat.” The maturé grass contains morg woody: fibre and led® flesh formis temthan the y oui ee Si e and, besides this, it i# fougd thas tritions albutieh olds exist in 9 leas aol young grass, nee the difference of nutritive valae and di- gestibility. Autumnal hay was found to be more nutritious and digestive than summer hay. . a os Agricultural Philosophy. There is no great success in tarming without bard work ; but it is the good thinking that costs, not the plodding alone. It is up-hill business to go against the common judgment of all your neighbors, but if you are sure you are right, go ahead, no matter what they say. The seryant is not above uis master ia industry; the farmer must be able to lead the field and kuow whether a man is ‘doing good work, and the- workman must krow that he knows what a day’s work is. When draining his farm and carting out notable piles of well-rotted manure, I consider him eafe. Ife cau borrow money to make improvements, and the sheriff will not of- ten tie up at his hitching post. — John Johnston. ~-—>- Talk up Your Town.

If it has good sehouls, good churches, uewspapers. clean streetsornamented with beautiful shade Don't grumble if any- thing and everything is not up to your ideas —vespecially if you do nothing to help make the place.

No proceedings can be taken in involuntary or compulsory bankruptcy excepting by the action of onesfourth in number of creditors and one-third in value of claims against the debtor. Seeond. -'The provision of the present law requires that the assets of an involun- tary bankrupt shall be equal to fifty per cen€. of the indebtedness (proved or prov- able) is repealed without limitation. Third. In voluntary bankruptey the bankrupt may be discharged on the pay~ ment of thirty per cent. upon his liabili- ty, provided that one-fourth of his credit~ ors in number, and they representing one- third of the amount of proved or provable indebtedness, agree to his discharge.

Fifth. ‘The two periods of four months, and six months, preseribed as the limits of certain reclaiming and voiding process- es, are reduced tu sixty days and four months respectively, but this is not to take effect tor two months after the pas- sage of the act.

It would appear from these observa- tions that the poison from rabies which is slow in making its way from the seat of vital parts, must penetrate the system before its most serious effects can be elicited. The thing to do wher bitten is to prevent the transmission of the virus into to the system, and there is plenty of time to carry out measures for phis purpose. In most cases a bandage can be passed immediately above the wounded, which will temporarily obstuct the circulation. It is probable that sucking the wound J would at once withdraw the poison; at all events, the knife of the surgeon and the cautery offer absolute security. ‘This view is corroborated by the observation that in mest cases of hydrophobia, and notably in the one under consideration, the wound has not bled freely, a flow of blood being likely to wash away the poison. ‘Thus a tightly bound handker- chief and a neighboring apothecary shop may provide the means for promptly averting serious results. Itis said that Mr. McCormick was extremely anxious about the wound, and his fears may have aggravated his suffering. While the real disease of hydrophobia may be rare, it way be doubted whether all the. dogs in thee untry can compensate, in any valae they render to society, for the loss of une human life from that diseasc. —- + The Negro in Congress. Ot the six negroes in Congress but one exicited any notice during the session that has just elosed—Hlliott, of South Caroli. na—and he only because of a single speech which wes supposed to be remark- able because it did emanate from a negro. B-tter speeches were made every day by white men which provoked no comment. The other representatives of the black and mulatto people in Congress—Rainey, Walls, Ransier and Lynch — were com- plete nonentities. We notice this in. no spirit of prejudice, but because the fact has a political and social value. ‘These six colored men may properly be snppos: ed to be the pick of Yheir race, the best representatives of its intelligence and cultare. One of them is serving his third, and two of them their second terme in Congress, so half of the number have had some Congressional experience. And yet, immediate representatives though they be of a race numbering four millious of people not one of them has originated a measure nor put forth an idea, not one has distinguished himself by committee work, not one haz appeared above the level of medioerity except Elliott, who made one speech which occasioned notice because, as we have said, it was made by a negro. Lynch, it is true, has also made a speech, but is wasin Republican caucus, in which he declared no matter how bad the Republican party might be the segro- ¢ would stick to it, because it had given them freedom. Old “Daddy” Cain is a noted character at home in South Caroli- na, where much of his time is consumed in defending himself in suits brought a- gainst him for alleged corrupt practices. He is a Methodist preacher, edits a small religious and practical weekiy paper, which is a curiosity iu’ literature, and would drive Josh Billings wild with envy ifhe shoutd sce it, and is generally res garded as a good-hummored and amusing old darkey. Rainey is a Charleston ex~ barber, who abandoned a trade in which he stood first among all competitors to become a statesman without reputation. Walls and Ransier arc plausible, talkative young negroes, who contre! the colored politics of their respective localities. ‘Che six picked men of the negro race sit in Congress as mere lay figares—sit there apparently on sufferance, nodded at pat~ ronizingly by a casual Republican mem- ber and ignored~almost wholly by the rest of the Honse What are we to learn from this failure of the negro in atatecraft? Shall we put it together with the failure of the negro youths at West Point and the uyconePreugys position reached by the negrdes who have learned professions, aod conclude that the race, as a whole, is incapable of rising much above the in- tellectaal average which bas characterized it since it has been known in history ? Or shall we accept the plea of its particular friends and believe that it is emerging from its childhood and needs only the white man’s forty centuries of eultare and experience to rival him in his intellectual achievements} ‘The question is one of importance, because it bears upon the im- mediate fatare of our politics, our soeial condition, and material prosperity.

Perhaps the highest compli- ment paid to a Southern Senator since the war, was the appointment of Judge Merri- mon on the Conference Commitiee on the currency qnestion, from which we can infer the high estimation-in which be was held by the Senate. Saving at the Spigot. The nation js expected to look on and admire while the new Secretary of the Treasury turns out about four hundred of the superfluous clerks in hig establishment. ‘The War Department and the printing bureau are also to be purged of a propor- tion of their useless hands. ‘The men discharged from the Treasury serviee are to receieve a salve of two months’ extra pay—a fact that does not come under the head of economy, though it may be that. the poor fellows so suddenly thrust upon a cold world should have something extra to keep them a little while from starving. The nation would exult more heartily over this little sign of entrenchment if the hope coald be reasonably entertained that four hundred men will, not be qaietly slipped back into the Treasury and others into the other branches, before long. When the clerks are discharged from the eervice at Washington we always hear of it,and are invariably told that this is a part of the great retrencliment scheme of the administration. But we never hear of tthe clerks appointed a few months after, or the new clerks put ou. ‘his sort of news is never obligingly furnished from headquarters to pags the rounds of the press and undergo editorial comment. Curiously, too, this zeal-for retrenchment prevails only at Washington, the centie of observation, and not in custom houses and other Federal offices scatiered over the land. Dismissing five or six hun dred clerks out .of whe many thousands politically appointed to sinecurcs is not such a retrenching as will satisfy real economist, particularly when it ia perfee- tly cettain that an equal number, and more, will have places made for them as soon as the fall campaigns begin.—N. Y. 1 Com. . s a ee Decisions of the Supreme Court. [Raleigh News: ] Below we give the opinions of the. Sax | preme Court, which were filed on Monday, the 29th: Clement, Administrator vs. Fuster et al, from Davie. Ata sale of lands under an order to ; make assets of real estate, two persone, | Lanier and Jordan, each purchased a tract | of land. ‘There tracts had been enélosed by one fence. After the sale Lanier built | a crosa fence within fifteen feet of the di- ‘viding line between him and Jordan, and tore down the fifteen feet of fencing on his own land, at each end of the cross fence and between the cross fence and Jordan, making a road for himself and exposing Jordan’s part of the field. Held: 1. ‘That the administrator and heirs at law could not properly be made parties to the disputes ais purchasers 2. If, during his operations, in respect , to the fence, Lanier crossed the line, Jors dan’s remedy is by a civil action for inju- | ry to real estate, which correspoudes with , the old action for trespass qnare clausum Sregit. And if Lanier confined himself to his own side of the dividing line, atill if be broke the fence which had before been the common means of protecting the crops without giving reasonable notice, he could be suacd for consequental dama es. Slitehell, adm’r, &c., vs. Swayer, et al., from Craven. Plaintiff had a judgment against the defendant. Plaictiff agreed that if de- fendaut would pay hima part he would receive it in satisfaction of the whole.— Held: that this promise of plaintiff was a nudum pactum and not binding in law. Whitford vs. Foy, from Craven. All exceptions to report of referee in this case, both plaintiff's and defendant's, were overruled by the Court. Several of the exceptions failed to refer to thé facts on which they were based with sufficient distinctness to be intelligible without a thorough examination by this Court of the whole of the referee’s work, which would be impracticable.

Adam- son, the American Coneul, living in Ho- thain street, Kast Melbourne. Shortly afier 4 o'clock on Sunday morning Mas- tr Adamson was awakened by hearing some pergon moving in his bed-room. He got up and siezed the intrader, who prov- ed to be a colored man named Thomas Webb, an American, from New York city, who came out as cook itsthe Ameri- | can ship A. M. Minott. A sharp strug. gle took place, and young Adamson. was thrown down the stairs to the firet lavd- ing. Nothing daunted, however, he again seized the burglar, and was thrown to the bottom of the stairs. The burglar then ran toward the back door, but in, the darkness mistook his way, and came back again, when young Adamson again seized him, and this time got him down and held him till his father came to his assistance. A rope was procured, and the man was tied to the banisters till a constable was found, to Whom he was given in charge. ‘I'he burglar was convicted on Friday, May, 1. The pluck shown by Master Adamson, who is only about six- teen years of age, in attacking an antago- nist 80 superior in strength and weight is worthy of the highest commendation.” Profits on Cotton Mills.

Comnfittee on the Judiciary. M. Poland, Republican, moved that the rules be suse pended ‘and the bill passed. On Mr. Eldridge’s motion to adjourn, the yeas and nays were ordered, and the motion to , adjourn was lost by a vote of 165 nays, to 76 yeas, the nays being all Repabli- eans. Then the question recarred upon , the motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, upon which the yeas and naya, had been ordered. ‘Ihe question was taken, and there were—yens 139, nays 91, not voting in the affirmative, the rulcs were not suspended.

Journal, the truth of which is vouched for. A man named Kyle, with a wife and two children, re- cently settled in the new couutry. A tew days ago the wifv having gone a short distance from the house to do the family washing, took one child, an infant with ber, and left the other, two years old, at the house. Having eccasion to be absent from her baby for a few moments, wheu she returned she found that a rat- tlesnake had fastened its fangs upon the child’s wrist. She qnickly dispatched the snake and fred the child, which al- most immediately died. Clasping her tufant iu ber arms she hastened to the house, where she found her .other drown- ed in a tub of water.

Park- burst, of New York, saysthat on the 24th of June, the tail of the comet (Coggias) now seen in the northern heavens, was three thousand miles in length, and le assumes an increasing of onestenth each day, arriving at the startling result that on the 20th of July it will touch the earth. He does not, however, anticipate any appreciable physicial effect further than possible electricul plienomena like the aurora. On ‘I'hursday, July 2, at half-pagy nine o'clock, the comet will be easily seen by the naked eye in the north-west (no other description will be need) with a tail about six degrces in length.

His atfianced wanted the affair bronght to a finale, but George kept putting ber off with promises, saying be was notable to marry, etc. Finally she said, ‘“Deah Gauge, I am willing to mar- ry you, if we haye to live on bread and water.” “Well, well,” cried “Gauve” in desperation, “you furuish the Inead, and il try and skiuwush around aud haut up enough water. her husband, who, ; | of the gentleman from Wisconson (Mr. | Eldridge) that the rulee be suspegded j and the bill be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The motion was*not agreed to. The Spe aker—'The bill reinains on the | Speaker's table. Thne, it will be seen, the civil rights | bill remains on the table, and, according | to the Speaker himsclf, “it will of conree | be among the first on the table next sues | sion,” and, also in the Speaker's own words, “it might be reached,’ at the next | session of Congress, “by a motion to ge | to bueiness on the Speaker's table, made | at any time after the morning #our.”’ In other words, the civil rights bifi having passed the Senate, now remains on the Speaker's table in the House, from which it can be taken at any lime next seasion, and passed by a majurity vote. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, tele | that journal on Saturday wight last, con- cerning the vote on the civil rights bill, stated: ‘As it stands, however, it is jrejected without prejedicc, aud lies on the Speaker's table, wherce it may be Itaken at the next session, and passed by | a bare inajority.”’ Asto the second qnestion, what are the prospects of the civil rights bill at the next session of Congress 1—tue people can judge for th .nselves. Here are the’ facts: On Monday, May 25:h the day vn which the firet vote on the civil rights bill was taken in the House, ihere was 60 majority on a full vutc, lacking only 6 of the two-thirds vote necessary to have l taken it from the Speaker's table, when a majority vote would have passed it. Ou the vote, on Satuiday uight, Jure 20th, on the passage of the civil rights bill, there was 48 majority in favor of the bil, on a sinall vete, aud 399 Representaiives not voliig. In both cases, all-the votes in favor of the ‘sum of villianics’’ were cast by Republicans, aud every Democrat voted against the “quaintessence of abomiua- tions. ‘The natural inference wkich ever: intelligent aud candid mind. will draw from tbese facts is that the civil rights bill is the leading policy of the Repubii- can party, and if the people elect Repub- lican Congressmen who favor the civil rights bill, this sum of villanies will mos: assuredly be enacted into au law at the next session of Cougress. As LHarper’s Weekly —a journal which advocates th civil rights bill—says. There is no more sfgnal error than the supposition that the defeat of this bil: teude to setle anythipg. * * * Th bil now goes over, perhaps, to anothei session, but it will constantly re-appae antil the engagement of the couatry & fulfilled. graphing to es sa g e la A OS ee = > = my a oe = i —o —s Hi e OS Ss Ee oe o e 5am re n e . ee r i e ge ri e n Se n e t = am e oe = , Fs } m bi aud goed taste ia the selection of your , alina Watchman, SALISBURY.

The object of these bills is to intimidate the press of the country and to step eriti- cism. Public officers have got to think that they are the masters of the people instead of the servants, and that the pub- lic press has no right to call in question any of their official actions. They wish to keep the peaple in ignorance of. their acts ; they have begun to think that she people have no right to know what they do: Hence, they desire to muzzle the press and keep it silent, if possible, At leaet, they want a bill passed that will enable them to take revenge ou editors rascally tricks, such ag embezzlement, bribe-taking, &e, &e. They wish to have the power to force an editor, who dares to criticise thefr conduct, to Washington, where they can havea packed jury and a bribed judge to convict. They think that if they cannot conviet, that the ex- pence and uncertainty of attending a trial at Washington before euch a court and jury, will sufficiently intimidate editors ‘o keep them quiet.

It is relat- ed of the great Dr. John Mason, the most emi nent Presbyterian preacher of New York more than ha'fa century ago, that,in a sermon 4 fast day, when there was extreme political excite- ment on the subject of an alliance with France, he broke forth jato a solemn and impassioned apostrophe to Deity in nearly these words: “Send us, if Thou wilt, murrain Upon our cattle, a famine upon our land; send us pestilence to waste onr cities ; send us, if it please Thee, the sword to bathe itselfin the blood of eur sons; but, spare us, oh most Merciful, spare us that cursé—moxt dreadful of all curses—an alliance with Napoleon Bonaparte’ As he uttered these startling sentences the blood gushing from his nostrils; he unconsciously put hix handker. chief to his 1ace, and the next instant made a gesture which looked ag if he were designedly Waving it before the uudicnee like a bloody and symbctie flag.

The | Italians plant mulberry trees in rows, with a | vine betwoeneach mulberry tree,and train the | vines to run upon the trees. The same plan is | porsued in the small Island of Madeira, with | this difference; a walrut tree is substituted for the mulberry. This is theancient Roman method and experimeuts in this country have demon- strated that it partiaily exempts the fruit from rot and xometimes protects it from frost. Any one wishing tu make the experiinent on @liberal scale need not confine his ehvice to either a mulberry orwalnat-tree, but select ac- cerding as his taste or interest might suggest.— The Italians plant the mulberry with reference toraising silk; and the walnut in Madeira for the sake of the nuts, which al- ways command ready sale in the cities. The timber of the walnut is.also valuable, and will become more and more so.as the population of the country increases. Many old ficlds in Western North Carolina might be set in wal- nut, wild locut, catalpa, or nmlberry.trees, and | vines, and in the course of a few years become: | & permanent and lucrati¥e source of income.— | Nor would it necessarily involve a heary ex- pense either of money or labor. The vines will come into good, profitable bearing in from three | to five years. The timber trees should be-se- | lected with reference to an investmentfor one’s | heirs. | Planting and pruning the vines should be re- gulated b): the modeé adopted fdr training.

How it would be echoed by the very. bones of the poets and war- riors and statesmen who sleep there!

Ie. ae ~ ee Re y Pe r e a a 25 . oe i a i > i A man without learning, And wearing good. clothes, Is like a gold ring In a ball-dog’s nose. The death rate in New York last week was lower thah it has Leen for five years showing thus far a remarkably scason, especially for children. They tell a queer story about the doc- tors in a certain Texas town, who were all away last summer to attend a medical convention. ‘They were absent about two months, and on their return found that all their patients had recovered, the drug-stores had closed, the nurses had opened dancing-schools, the cemetry was cut up into building lots, the undertaker had gone to making fiddles, and the hearse had been painted and gold for a circus wagon. The same God who moulded the san and kindled the stars, watclies the flight of the insects. He who balances the clouds, aod hung the carth on nothing notices the fall of the sparrow. He who gave Satarn bis two rings, and placed the moon, like a ball of silver, in the broad arch of heaven, gave the rose its elegant tint, And the same Being notices equal- ly the praises of the eherubim aud pray- cra of the little child. Forcep Money ORvER.—On Monday Jast an exawination was held before Com- missioner Wilson in the case of a party charged with collecting money upon a inoney order with a forged endorsemeut. The charge waa preferred by Col. TB. Long,Special Agent of the Post Office Department, who was in the city last week iu the discharge of his duties. ‘The accused was represented by A. Pratt Adane, Ivsq., and the government by Isaae Beeket, Esq. He was required to enter into rere appearance before the United States District Court to answer the charge,—Savannah (Ga.) L’eporter. Dr. Wapve's LiveR CorRRECTOR.— We areapleased to hear of the success and popularity of this medicine, prepared by our friends, Wade, Boykin & Co.— the energetic N. VU. Wholesale Uruggist, of Baltimore. Is has already become 80 well established as to be prescribed by the most eminent-physicians in Baltimore including some of the Vrotessors in two ot the Medical Colleges there. It is not a pateut ncdicine. Dr. Boykin will fare nish the recipe to any regular physician on application. We saggest to those who have dyspepsia, chronic constipation, sick headache jaundice, & , to try it at once. -~We suppose the druggists all keep it.—1Lt. — Wilmington Journal. A Mipxigur ApDvexrure Wir A Rosser — A Suffolk gentleman was a- wakened about midnight recently by a lady member of his family, who, in great alarm, informed him that a robber was at his chicken coop. He jumpted out of bed, sefze@ his gun, rushed frantically to the door, saw the man, (or supposed he ‘did), and fired: He then returned and procured a light, and then went out to see tie effect of his shot. A’ post standing by the coop was ‘peppered,’ the cow had vue eye put out, three chickens and a gob- bler were killed outright, and several oth ers wounded, and a coffee pot, which was setiing on the post, was ruined. —Sruffulk Lerald. The Vories and Ritnalists in ugland have not given up their antagonism to the church regulation bill merely because it has passed the House of Lords. ‘They iuteud to.carry the war into the commons avd defeat it there. This is the bill pro- posed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, aud the object of it is to costitute a cheap and speedy process by which the mem- bers of the clergy may be summoned | aud tried for inovations upon or disregard of the established rules and usages of the chureb. Fatal GLiNpsTONE ExpLosion.—A lad named Jobn MeGeelmn, employed in the castor factory of John ‘Toller, Sun & Co., Adams street, Newark, was killed yesterday morning by the bursting of an emery wheel in the factory. At the time of the explosion McGeehan was seated over the whecl polishing castors. ‘I'he explosion broke the wheel into three pieces. ‘I'wo were horled with terrific torce through a window at the further ead of the shop, pa in their flight over the heads of a nt@ber of employees. The third fragment, weighing thirty pounds, struck the window directly above McGee- han’s beneh, and, falling back, struck him on the head, smashing the skull 80 as to expose the brain, Ue died within ten muiuutes.— World. Some RerrRENcHMENT AFTER ALL.— Aecording to the statement of Mr. Gar- ficld, Chairman of the Committee on Ap- propriations, at ihe summing up of the acts of Congress appropriating money, tue aggregate of the bills show a dimina-~ tion of $27,763,780 below the appropria- tivus of last year. With this reduction and the favurable reports of incoming revenue the governmentis not likely to want money, aud will have, probably, a cousiderable surp'us to apply to the sink- ing fund or to divide out among the moei- ty grabbers. A Californian who ties one end of a rope aroud his waist and lassoes a cow with the other, can generally tell at the end of the first balf mile, whether he’s got the cow or the cow's got him. Cor.

" ResusciTaATiON OF DrowNeD Pegr- soNS.—'lhe Massachuesetts Humane So- ciety has issued a ¢ard with these direct- ions for restoring persons apparently drowned : “Convey the body to the nearest house, with head raised , strip and rub dry ; wrap the nostrils with thumb and finger,’ and blowing into the mouth foreibly, and then preasing with hand on the chest. Again blow in the mouth and press on the chest, and so on for ten minutes, or until he breathes. ‘Keep the body warm; extrem. ities also. Continue rubbing; do not give up 80 long as there js any chance of suc- cess. THE Roap To GLory.—The road to glory would cease to be arduous if it were trite and only to take epportanities but to make them.— Alexander drugged the Pythian priestess to the templeon a tudes day—she exclaimed “My son, thou art invincible,” which was oracle en- ougb forhim. Ona second occasion he cnt the Gordian knot which others had in vain attempt- ed to untie. Those who start for human glory, like the inettled hownds of Actéeon, must pur- sue the game not ouiy where there is a path, but where there isnone. They must bo able to simulate and dissimulate, to leap and to creep; to conquer the earth like Cesar, orto fall down and kiss it like Brutas; to thruw their sword, like Brennus. into the trembling scale, or, like Nelson, snatch the laurels from the doubtful hand of victory, while she is hesitating where to bestow them. That policy that ean stiike only while the iron is not, will be overcome by that perseverance, which, like Ufomwell’s, can make the iron het by striking ; and he who can only rule the storm, must yield tohim who can both raise find rule it. A Deatu BepInverview By TEL- EGRAPH.—The overland telegraph in Australia extends for 1,000 miles across the wastes of the insular con- tinent, and the line is greatly exposed to the attacks of the natives who use the wire to point their spears with, secure the sltarp-edged fragments, with which they serape their spear blades smooth. the line, therefore, cach station is a tort. On the evening of February 22, one of these stations was suddenly !attacked, and in the melee Mr. Stap- |leton, the master, was fatally wounded. |The station was 1,200 miles from Ad- ‘elaide, and the sufferer had to be treated for his wounds by Dr. Gosce of that place, by means of consultation over the wire. The case was hopeless, to make the situation of Mr. Stapleton somewhat easter to béar was. to. allow him to exchange a féw parting words with his wife, who, like the surgeon, was 1,200 miles away in Adelaide. This was done, and the man and wo- man who had seen each other for the last time on earth were able, in a measure, to say, to each other those words of tendeyness which cheer the dying in their last moments, and leave 21 pleasant remembrance upon the minds of the bereaved. eee ‘JAS.

Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compaunded possessing the _ remarkable qualities of ViseGar Birrers in healing the sick of every disease manis heir to. They are & gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Orgaus in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dr. Warker's VINEGAR LITTERS are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative. Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. , + Grateful Thousands proclaim Vrv- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful In- Vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person ean take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their boucs are not de- stroyed by eral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. ‘ Bilious, Remittent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- lent in ‘the valleys of our great riyers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and rewarkably so during sea- sons of unusual heat and: dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERs, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid. matter with whieh the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifving all its ids with VinkGanr Birrers. No, epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Mead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, ‘Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpit:i- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, are the ofsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantec of its merits than a lengtby advertise- ment. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Uleers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Bruptious of the Skin, Sore Eyes, ete. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis- cases, WaLker’s VineGar Birrens have sown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatery and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Iutermittent Fevers, Viscases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated: Blood. Mechanical Disenses.—Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and + Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER’s VIN- “EGAR BITTERS vecasioually. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spets, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-wors, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Eryipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. ; ‘Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelminitics will free the system from worms like these ale For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonie Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever ete find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is cone your feelings will tell yoa when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follew. ' R.H. McDONALD &CO., Drptente oid on. ge, Son Rrncios Calera, Seld by all gists and Dealers.

The Public Debt we're bound to pay, The Constitutions plainly say, Then may we chouvse for Raling men, The Trusty Worthy Honest friend, And Public-Good, a sacred care, To welcome each a happy year, What wore nay we in public say, To bring a brighter rising day, This safely Rule would make us great, A Wealthy Happy Peaceful State, Her Blooming Sous, might sweetly Sing, Aud inake within Her borders ring, Her Fame would sound to distaut Lands, While she in bigh positign stands, Then if we wish to see the time.

Sun - 20 ———. Watering Plants in Summer. Plauts growing in the open groand and | fully exposed to the sun, are frequently | ruined by the very means taken to save | them—by watering in hot diy weather. Generally, merely the surface of the | ground is wet, aud the moisture soon, evaporates, leaving the soil dry and hard —almost impervious to air as well as to the dews. But this is not th® only, nor the greatest evil which results from | the ordinary watering which plants get. ‘I'he temporary, superficial moisture causes the roots to the surface, where in the ins tervals between the waterings, the heat | drought destroy them, the plauts become ; stunted or die outright. ‘he remedy lies | in a more thorough irrigation and in a dif | ferent mode of applying the water. In! the case of young trees and herbaccous | plants, the best way is to carefully serape away the soil around them to the depwh of an inch or two, forming a shallow ba- sin in which sufficient water should be poured to moisten well the ground as- deeply and as widely as the roots extend. When the water has soaked in, the dry earth should be turned, which will pre- vent a speedy evaporation. Among small plants, which cannot be treated in’ this: way, inake holes with an iron rod ora! sharpened stake several inches ji depth | and fill them with water which will thus reach the deepest roots.—Rural Caro- liniun for June. ! ge A Mecuanic.—\ young man coms) menced visiting a young lady, who seem- ed to be well pleased with Lim.

If any members of the Conservative party are deluding themselves with the belicf that the Radicals do not intend to resort to any and every means to carry the eléction, it seems to be about time for them to wake up aud come to their sens ses. The importation of voters from strong sections to weak or doubtful ones, is an old and a favorite operation with the Rad- icals, and it was to guard against this very fraud that the last Legislature amended the election law so “that wheu a voter is challenged at the polls upon des mand of any citizen of the State, it shall be the duty of the inspectors of the election to require said voter before being allowed to vote to prove by the oath of some other his residence for thirty days previous there- to in the county in which he purposes to vole.” By the help of thie law and by thor ough organization on the part of our friends in each township, this species of fraudulent voting can be prevented al- most entirely. Let eyery good Conser- vative make it bis business to keep a sharp lookout and see what new comers there may be in his neighborhood, and on the day of election if one of them who has not been there for thirty days prior to the elcetion, offers to vote, let him be challenged. If the stranger can prove his thirty day’s residence in the county by some one known to the judges, Ivt him do go and cast his vote if qualified in other respects. But let every man “known to the judges” who ewears to the thirty days residence of a stranger, be 1e- membered for the purpose of prosecuting him for perjary, if it shall turn out that he swore falsely. If it shall be knowao that this will be done not any men ‘known to the judges will commit perjury by swearing falsely to the thirty day’s resi- dence of a fraudulent voter, unless the judges shall act in collusion with ther. We know the fraud. We kuow the remedy too. Letus prepare to use it. No man who was not a resident of the county on the sixth of July, can have aright to vote in the coming election.

The Trouble of Christorpher Columbus McPherson. This boy was a good boy. He would have been an angel to-day but for the deceit of this falxe-hearted world. He wasn’t one of @ set of triplets, and therefore didn’t have honors show- ered down upon him in his early days, but old women said there was foundation there for an orator, & great general, or a philosopher, and old men examined his bead and said it was lev. el. Nothing particular happened $o Christopher Columbus until the eighth year of his reign.— His childhood days were full of mud pies, the butt end of shingles, paregoric, castor oil and vid straw hats with the frout brim worn off. He was a deep thinker and a close observer for a small boy, and he was just inuocent enough to believe things which other boys pitched out of the window without a second thvught. When Christopher was going 01 nine years old he heard cou one say that “a penuy saved was two pence earned.” He therefore laid a big Bungtown away in a crack under the mop board, and every day he lovked to see it grow to two cents. He bad confidence and patience, but at length both gave way. Thenhe gotthe cent out one day and Mrs. Norton’s baby swal- lowed it, and t..at was the last of that Bung- town. The youthful Christopher didn’t believe in maxims quite as much as beture, but he badu’t cut all his eye-teeth yet. When this boy was a year older he heard some one say that “the truth Was mighty and inust prevail,” and that the boy who always spoke the truth would surely ake a good and great nan. He commenced to tell the truth. One day he got his father’s razor out and hack- ed jt on a stone, and when the old gent came home and asked who in blazes had done that? Christopher Columbus spoke up and said : . “It was I father; I notched your old ragor,” “You did eh?” sneered the old man as he looked up into a peach tree. “‘well, lll fix you 30 you will never notch anc ther razor fur me! And he cut a budding branch and dressed that boy down until thé youth saw stars. That night Christopher Columbus determined never to tell the truth again unless by accident, and all through life he stack to the res» lution. When the lad was about twelve years old he read in alittle book that “honesty was the best policy” He didn’t more than half believe it, but he thought he’d try. He went to being honest. One day his mvther sent him to the we don’t work ; and we don’t work be- | im to squander the a “Spent it for peda water, eh?” slie replied. Here your poor old mother is workiug like a slave, and you are around swilliug down soda water! IT don’t thik yuu'N swill any mere, | don’t! Come over my ight Khee.” | And she agitated him in the liveliest manner. That night as he tyrned on his downy straw bed the boy madeé up his mind that honesty didn’t pay. and he resolved to cheat the whole world if he could. When Christopher was half a year older he came across the injunction: ‘Be kind te the poor.” He did not know whetber it would pay or not, but he set about it. He knewofa woman who sadly needed a spring bonnet, and he took over his mother's, along with a few other thinge, including his father’s second pair of boots, his own Sunday shoes, and so on. He went around feeling very big-hearted until. the and then it Game out. “Gin away my boots, ch ?” inquired the father; “lugged your mother’s best bonnet off, eb Well, I don’t think you'll remember the poor very much after to-night.” ' And he pounded Christopher Columbus with a pump handle until the béy fainted away, and even then didn’t feel as if he had made a thor- ough job of it. _ They fooled this boy once more. He heard a rich man say that everybody should “make hay while the sun shone.” So when there caine a sunny day he went out, took his father’s seythe down from the plum tree and went to making hay. He broke the scythe’ cut down the twips, and hacked his sister in the heel, and his moth- er came cutand led him around by the hair, and pounced him until he almost went into a de- cline. They couldn’t bamboozle this boy after that. He grew wicked every day of his life, and before his eighteenth birthday arrived he was hung for murder. He said he didn’t care a huekleberry about it, and died without naking the usual Fourth of July oration. M. Quap. a A Terrible Tragedy. [ Marysville (Col.) Appeal, June, 26.] It appears that an old man named Shirley aud Henry Price are neighbors, and that the latter has a daughter named Eunice, about seventeen years of age, Whom Shirley wished to marry. The old man continued to press his suit, and to gain favor had in some way become the creditor of the family in the sum of $44. Shirley’s affections were not reciprocated by the daughter Hunice, and the old man, it seems, cesolyed upon desperate means to bring bis courtship to an end. Le therefore.on Monday last, armed himself with a revolver and two or three knives and went to the house of Mr. Price and demanded the payment of the sum of money due him-about $44. Approaching the daughter, Eunice, Shirley said he wanted the money due him or ber. Eunice informed Shir- ley that they could not pay bim the moncy, as they had none, but that hefcould take the flock of turkeys which she bad raised. This reply being unsatisfactory and a rejection of his suit, Shirley drew his revolver, levelled it at the girl’s head, and pulled the trigger. Fortuna tely the chamber fai‘ed to revolve far enough and the hammer did not explode the cap. The father aud a negro boy who was present im- \ incdiately interfered to prevent the assissina- tiem, wnod a sharp tucscla anecnead. hatwaan the three, during whieh Price received acut on one of his hands from the knife which he seized by the blade. Finally the two overpowered and disarmed Sbiiley, and upon a promise: that he would remain quiet he was released and allow- ed to get, up off the floor. But as heraised up Shirley drew another knife, which was conceal- ed on his person, and thrustit in the right side of Mr. Price, irflicting a mortal wound. Her back door with the deterinination of saving her life if possible by fight to the house of William Moore, distant about one mile. In the mean- time a younger sister, seeing the necessity of help and needing assistance for the care of her father, jumped upon Sherley’s horse, which was standing by the door, and rode off to the resi- dence of Richard Flood and a Mrs. Norris, abouta mile distant in another direction from Which Eunice had started. Shirley soon dis- covered the route Eunice had taken and star ted off in pursuit of her. Seeing that she was a long ways abead of him he returned to the house to get his horse. Finding it gone he mounted a mule, but the animal bucked him off, and he was obliged to resuine the pursuit on foot, the frightened Eunice all this time flecing toward the residence of William Moore with ali ber physical strength. Shirley nodoubt wished to overtake berin the field and there assassinate or force a pledgelof marriage from her Fortunately tor Miss Price she reached witbin hearing distance of Mr. Moore betore the des- perate and vbloodthi's y villian overtook her, He, however, stopped her within about forty yards cf the house, when she cried out, ad- dressing Mr. Moore, “Don't let him killed me.” Mr Moore seeined to lose no time in compre- hending the situation, and immediately came out of the house with his shot-gun. But Shir- ley and the trembling Eunice were partially entwined together, and Mr Moore dared not shoot the old gray-headed monster for fear he would shoot the girl. At this time the parties presented a thrilling and tragic tableau. Shir- ley was supporting ‘he fainting and frightened Eunice by the left arm, while in his right hand he held alargeand shining knife, with the po nt vined at berheart. Mr. Moore advanced on Shirley and dealt him aheavy biow over the head, but it did not knock him down. The gun, however. was discharged by the coucus- sion, the contents passing over the head of Shirley. Thencommenced another struggle between the two men for the possession of the gun, as Shirley, seized it as the blow was xtruck. The parties fought for some time most desper- ately, during which Shirley tried to stab Mr. Moore, but he escaped with a long cut in his pantaloons near the right thigh. The struggle continued till Moore picked up a rock and gave Shirley a beavy blow upon the bead, which ended the contest. Moore then tied the hands of his helpless antagonist and Jed him at the end ofthe ropeto Bangor. Dr. Vence, of Oroville, was called to examine the wound of Mr. Price, and pronounced it necessarily mor- tal. Price was a widower, his wife dying about ayearago. Though poor, the family is rexpecta- bie, and the two daughters much esteemed by their neighbors. Shirley is an old man, aged about sixty years, aud is the possessor of some property. We understand that he has herto fore borne the reputation of a peaceable and quict citizen.

It is with deep regret that we announce the death of the Goveraor of our State, Hon. Tod. R. Caldwell, which occurred at Hillsboro last Saturday evening, after a brief illness. He went to Hillsboro to attend the annual meeting of the Stock- holders of the N. C. Railroad, was taken suddenly ill and rapidly declined until he died about 6 o’clock, P. M:, July 1%th inst. His death wil) be generally regret ted. He was a man of great firmness of char eens auu wau wany war [riends and ad- mirers, even among his political oppon- ents. He was thoroughly devoted to North Carolina and in hia official charac-~ ter as Guvernor, is believed to have de- rired the best interest of the whole people. Tie bas filled several positions of hono and trust in the State. Ile is a native of eburke county and his remains will be car. ried there for interment in the family bury- ing groand, Morganton, N. C. The Licut Governor, Curtis H. Brog- den, by reason of this sad event, becomes Governor, and will serve out the unex. pired term of two years from the Ist of next January. The Senate branch of the next Legis- latare will elect a President who will be- come ex-officio Lieut. Governor, Mr. Brogden who is thus raised to the excentive chair, is not unacquainted with public affairs or with the duties of his new position. He has considerable experience in public life; and it is to be hoped that he will be sustained in every effurt to pro- mote the public interest. OL OUR NEW CANDIDATE FOR SEN-_ ATOR. Mr. John I. Clement is now announe- ed asthe candidate of the Democratic- Conservative party to represent Rowan and Davie in the Senate branch of the next Legislature. We know nothing a- béat Mr. Clement personally, but we are assured that he ia a good and true Demo- crat, honest straightforward, practical and intelligent. = These qualifications are all that we desire, and we shall do whatever we can to secure his ele¢tion. At the instanee of Cupts. Crawford and Price a-eommittee composed of Davie and Rowan men was appointed to settle the matter of a candidate. ‘These gentlemen both having withdrawn. = Mr. Clement wae agrecd upon, and he is, as we ander- stand it, the unanimous choice of the friends of both Captains Crawford and Price, present. Not only so, but he is the candidate of our party, let’s lay aside all clashing and elect bins. a Our candidates are wining golden opinious wherever they are heard by the peopis. dir.

Bernhardt and McCuljbins are too well known to require eny ‘word of commendation from us. ‘They dre both succeseful basiness men, and not only receive the full vote of the party. Indeed, men of all parties can not do better than vote for them. Bat the same may be said of all our candidates. We have the ma-~ jority sufficient to elect every one of our nominees. Let their be no trading—no swapping off, but let every conservative go forwaad in support of the ticket. Let Rowan stand firm. <> WE DECLINE. ‘“‘ President” A. N. Smith, who seems to be acting the part of an Amanuensis, is out in another card attacking the edi- torial reports made by ns through the Watchman concerving the Senatorial District Convention at Foard’s Mill.— These reports were substantially and in fact true in every essential particular, as we can prove by quite a number of as good men as live in Kowan county.— Furthermore, ‘President’? Smith, while making broad and reckless assertions has not pointed out a single misstatement. The last card of the “ President, ” to state it mildly, contains at least a half Besides it is dozen fearful inaccuracies. sniveling, weak, puerile ; and we lope that all the Rowan delegates who ean will pro- cure acopy.

It is not true that we knew there were more than foyr townships from Rowan represented. Tt is not true that we raised any qnes- tion as to who made the motion that the delegates and townships be called. which was packed. even on oath, all he bas written. Tt is not true that a majority of Rowan delegates were in favor of Capt Price and acted with his delegates. We do not be- lieve there was a single delegate on the ground from Rowan empowered to act by authority as from atownship. Ifso we would like to know the man, and to sec his authority. But the question out of which this ridic- ulous musa grew, having been settled, we have nothing to do now but to assist the good people of Davie in electing Mr. Clem- ent. We cannot, therefore, waste space in writing up such as have no other means of securing a littlenotoriety. We are very charitably disposed toward our fel. plows, and especially the weaker ones, but we should not be expected to take notice of every scribler who wishes to attract at tention by attacking us through the public prints. The game is not worth the cau- dle. When a newspaper wrangle is wanted, we must be counted out. If it be desira- ble to force a personal difficulty, the col- umns of a newspaper ix not the proper field. Henee, we decline to take further notice of “Presideat’’ Smith through the Watchman. — ro Duty InstaLLep.—Hon. Curtis I. Bragden was duly installed Governor of North Carolina last Tuesday morning. Judge E. G. Reade of | the Superme Court administered the oath of office. After which the new made Governor delivered the following inaugural address : FELLoW-CITIZENS : —By the lamented death Caldwell, the Constitution devolves upon me the powers and duties of the oflice of Governor of North Carolina. And while I feel sensibly the great loss the State has sustained by the death of Governor Caldwelk and the responsi- bilities thus suddeniy and unexpectedly impos- ed upon me by the Supreme Ruler of the Un- iverse, I shall place my hope and trust in Ilim as my rock and my defence, my shield and my strength, to enable me to discharge my official duties according to the Constitution and the laws, and to properly respresent the interest and inajesty of the people, and the character and honor of the State. With a clear conscience and upright intentions, I shall try to discharge the duties of the high office to which I haye been called, honestly and faithfully, as a true and loyal son of North Carolina. I desire the promotion of education, morality and virtue, that the people may become more prosperous and happy under a wise and liberal) Govern- ment administered fairly and impartially by just and equal laws, Ufus insuring the full en- jeyment of civil and religious liberty. 1 desire that honest industry and labor may be justly protected and rewarded, and the vast and yar- led resources of the State may be more fully developed. 1 desire that free schools may be established and supported in every township and county of the State. Weall know that free governments must repose and must exist on the basis of intellligence and virtue. One of our dutice is to educate all our citizens so that they may understand and appreciate their duties and cherish feelings of respect and affec- tion for our country, her rights, her laws and institutions, Proud of the historic fame of North Carclina and of that patriotic feeling which has ever marked the devotion of her people to free institutions, I am anxious to per- petuate and increase that fame by such legisla- tion and such a system of improvement as will all our resources, and of zealously encouraging whatever shall render the people of the State contented and prosperous, her character res- pected and her institutions prosperous, solid and permanent. In all matters of administra- tion I shall adhere to the maxim of the fathers of economy and simplicity, and of rigid ac- eountability to the people of all public function- aries ; and I shall endeavor to illustrate this maxiw in my one official conduct. Having the responsibility developed upon me, and with an unfaltering trust in Almighty God for. help and gnidance, I now assume my duties as Governor of the State. substantial one.

He was uncon- scious and sormnolent during hia entire illness unless he was aroused. He had the best of care, the attendance of Dr. K. Burke Haywood, from Raleigh, but it is to be lamented that he passed away quictly an hoar before the arrival of his wife, who journeyed to reet him by a special train the moment his dangerous illness was announced. The Danger to be Shunned. “There never was a time when the snecess of the conservative party was more desirable, more important or more certain, if there is the shghest exercise of thore qualities of prudence and moder- ation go essential to success. But these are the very qualities the conservatives seein least inclined to bring into action. So certain does it seem of victory, su sure it is of the demoralization of the enemy that it plays with a toy, and wih the eager greed to possess all, rans the haz ard of losing everything.

The last has once been proved, and the State will be fortunate if ever she re. covers from the effects of it. ‘lo invite itagain by discontent, by dissent, by obstrusion into candidacies against regular nominations, will be a crime never to be forgotten. If the conservative party is defeated at the coming election, those in our ranks who have contributed to the disaster will Le marked men through their lives. ‘They cannot escaped the respon- sibility of their acts.

From the Reading (Pu.) Eagle, June 30. Yesterday there was a disgraceful scene en- acted at the Muddy Creek Church, one mile from Williamstown, Lancaster county, in which nearly a hundred male members of the Luth. eran and Reformed congregations took part. A preacher was bodily carried off the grounds, the palings of the fence were torn off and used, as weapons, fists were freely used, and a gener- al riot prevailed, during which a number of men were fearfully beaten. An eye-witness from this cily, who returned to Reading last eyening, gives the particulars as follows : The Muddy Creek Church has always been recognized as a Union Church, and used by the Lutheran Keformed congregations. They met there alternately. Some time agoa majority of the - Lutheran denomination, from ‘some cause or other, saw fit to agitate the question of obtaining a chaner. Others Opposed jt, on the ground that they had no right to have it incorporated as a Lutheran Church when it was not so, but was a Union Church. A ma- jcrity, however, decided to get a charter, which they did, and there immediately arose a dis- cord and disagreement, the majority among the the Lutherans being aided and abetted by the Reformed congregation, who, it is said, had not been made aware of the proceedings until it was too late. Yesterday was the first Sunday under the new charter, and it was proposed to hold Luth- eran services, ‘The anti-charter party, together with the Reformed, mustered al! their forces in front of the church at an early hour, and de- termined that no such services should be held. The charter party arrived, but did not enter the church. Matters appeared very fore- boding, but when the Rev. Mr. Henry, the erd to the grandual and safe development of Lutheran pastor, arrived it was thought the services would be allowed to proceed. The revered gentleman, in the name of the Lord, asked that no disturbance should take place, and he walked toward the church door. Seeing this the crowd of anti-charterties closed in on the preacher and carried him bodily ontside of the gates. Then a Mr. Pennypacker endeayor- ed to enter the church, and he in turn was very ronghly handled. This excited the charter party, who ruched io the fences, tore off palings, { The tight continued for some time, until two constables arriv:d aud quelled the riot. At one time the melee is described to have been terrible, many men having been savagely and roughly used and beaten, a“ ] Atiantic & N.C.

THE Currency QUESTION.—The New York Journal of Commerce saye: “The talk about going under the State system seems to have died out, the voluntary re- turn of bank circulation: seema to have greater in expectation than it is in fact, and the question of the rapidity of estab- lishing uew banks will soon settle the question whether the new currency act meaus inflation or contraction, All the circulation by the bauks are of such a personal or pecular character that they lack the elements of promised contraction by general application to National banks.” XY. 1 For tHe WATCHMAN.

Thi- it wonld be sife to guarantee. under any penality. There are a few, a very few, actnal specifics for dis- ease in ixistence, and Hostetter’s Stomach Bit. ters may be sect down as one of them. In cases of indigestion it never fails. Persons who had suffered for many years almost every conceiva- ble species of torture from this agonizing com- plaint, have been permanently cured with the Bitters in six weeks. Hfandreds of such in- stances are on record, authenticated by the tes- timony of prominent men in every waik of life. eminent physicians among the number. But this celebrated vegetable preparation is some- .thing more than astomachic and tonic. It is also an alterative of wonderful virtue. In liver complaint its effect is as direct and immediate as that of calamelior blue pill, and far, more salutary ; and in all diseased gpnditions of the bowels, notably in cases of constipation, its régulating properties are in the highest degree serviceable. The new settlements in the west and all low-lying tracts of country infested with miasmatic exhalations, so fruitful at this seas- on, of the various types of intermittent fevers, should be always well stocked with this incom. parable chologue, which will cure any case of fever aud ague ina period varying from three days to three or four weeks, according to the violence of the complaint. Nervous disorders which are always aggravated by the adulterated liquors usually prescribed by the physicians are readily cured by a course of this admirable com bination medicine, in which the properties of a stimulant, a tonic and alterative are hap- pily blended.

Pain is supposed tu be the lot of us peor mortals, as inevitable as death, and liable at auy time to come upon us. Therefore, it is important that remedial agents should be at hand tu be ased in emergency. when we are nade to feel the exeraciatiug agony of pain, or the depressing iufluences of disease. Such a remedial exists in Perry Davis’ «Pain Kil- ler,” the fame of which has extended over all the earth.

Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinecar Birrkrs in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are & gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dr. WarKer’s VINEGAR Birrers are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative. Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. + Grateful Thousands proclaim Vriv- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful In- Vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- Ient in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Dlinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- sas, Ited, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our cntire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sca- sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gaus, is essentially necessary. ‘There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERs, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored Viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its ffuids with VinEGAnr Bitrers. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Mead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad 'Tasto in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in thoregion of the Kid nese, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise- ment. . Scrofala, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelied Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mereurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, ete. In these, as in all other cunstitutional Dis- eases, WALKER'S VINEGAR LITTERS haro shown their great curative powers ia the niost obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevors, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Pcrsons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER’s VIN- EGAR Birrers occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spets, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worus, Scald-bead, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the systein in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No eyeyemn of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelininitics will free the system frum worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; } cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the bl pure, and the health of the system will follow. ' R. H. McDONALD & CO., Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California, and cor. of Washington and Chariton Sts., N. Y.

Witness the ten commatudments and the Lord's prayer—the one the embodied moral law of God, the other the daily utterance of praise, iniercersion, supplica tion and contession. Prayer is the expression of desire, hence there is no prayer which the offerer does not try to turn into practical action. Now ree how the devotions “daily” offered to God in compliance with the Lord’s prayer will control the life. How affectionate, reverential, spiritaal, obedient, industri- ous, forgiving, watchful, must its offerer be. No doubt the Lord’s prayer ia often employed as a mere form, by those who do not understand it, or think of ita mean- Ing; and even as if it had a magic power because it is the words of Christ; but no man ever prayed it who was not a Chris- id and no Christian ever prayed it in 2a The strawberry season along the Hud- 20n, which lasted for fifteen days, closed on the 8th instant.

The Pope, in his address on the late an- { his coronation, spoke of “that triple moral evil’? which threatens the young with so many dangers. His lau- guage was : This triple moral evil consists in romances, theatres and the press.

Although nov-a-days we see a great many fleshy females, there are many lean ank ones, who sigh for the fashionable measure of plump- ness, and who would be vastly improved in health and a 2g eould their fiingers be rounded with good solidy flesh. Nothing more coveted by thin women than a full finger, and nothing will so rouse the ire and provoke the scandal of one of those “clipper builds.” as the consciousness of plumpness in rival. In_ cases of fever and summer complaint, milk is now given with excellent result. The idea that milk is “everish’ has exploded, and now is the physicians great reliance in bringing through typhoid patients or those in too low a state to be nourished by solid food. It is a mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher. Take more milk and buy less meat. Look to your milkman, have large-sized well-filled milk pitchers on the ta- ble each meal ; and you wil have sound flesh and light doctor’s bills. ——_ar-—_—_ Sympathy between a Living Body and a Severed Arm. From the Whitehall Times. In another place appear an accounts of the accident that befel little Willie Cunnings, who lost an arm by being run over by the cars. When the lad was taken home, his arm was brought after him. It was thrown into a pail, when the poor little fellow screamed with pain. The severed limb was then placed in a box and buried in the garden. Shortly after, little Willie complained of a pain and queer feeling in the severed hand. He said that something was crawling on the inside of his hand. The limb was exhumed, when a large worm was discovered iu the palm of the hand. A large jar was then obtained, and it became necessary to crowd the arm in, when the sufferer fairly went into a paroxysm of pain, The limb was placed in a jar partly filled with alcohol, and then replaced in the ground. The little fellow complained that his arm and fingers were in a terribly cramped position, and that the little finger and the next one were growing together. ‘The jar was then taken up, when the limb was found crowded and cramped as described. This is remarkable, although such instances are often related. In this case the little nine- years-old lad was ignorant of what disposition was made of the limb. The lad is very low at the present writing, and some doubts are enter- tained of his recovery. ~~ <> Tue Comgt.—Here is what the local of the Crescent says of comets.

Just prior to the end of the last century great fogs spreading from the north of Africa oyer Russia and over the known parts of the United States hung in the heavens for several weeks. The most violent storms which prevailed at that time did not dissipate them, but they remained stationary and at times emitted a disagreeable odor which sensibly affected cities and communities far distant. At that time the earth was in proximity to two comets. The danger from combustion because of contact with these aerial visitors is an ex- ploded idea.

It was plain that they had gained noth- ing, aud had probably lost much.

Several of the Radicals were heard to say that they must vote for Robbins.

DISCUSSION aT SALEM. Messrs. Robbins and Cook addressed their fellow-citizens at the court house on Saturday afternoon last, after the ciose of the Republican convention. The dis- cursion was courteously conducted, al~ thongh Mr. Robbins had decidedly the advantage, making a very favorable im- pression on the very large concourse of people present. Dr. Cook opened with the uusal war harangue, denouncing secession and the war, and attributing all our ills to those who embroiled the country in bloodshed, and charging the responsibility wholly to the Democratic party. His opposition to the Civil Rights Bill was apparently ear- nest, while be accused Mr. Robbins of virtually supporting the measure when he voted for Horace Greeley, at the same time acknowledging that he had also sup- ported Greeley as well as Robbins two years ago. Of course these two last con- fessions were forced from him by Mr. Robbius. Singularly enough, Dr. Cook finds Limself in the very party which originated the bill, while Maj Robbins and his friends are among its bitterest opponents now, only supporting Mr. Greeley as the least of two evils, two years ago. The Dr. urged his election on the lame plea that a Republican had more influence with the administration than a Democrat, and hence he could do more in opposition to the Civil Rights Bill than his competi- tor. He struggled hard to make his points tell to the beat advantage, but signally failed. Major Robbins spoke with that easy grace and forcible eloqnence which al- ways attracts attention and carries con- viction to his hearers at the very outset. He denounced in unmeasured terms the iniquitous Civil Rights Bill and con- tended that if the white people of the South did not speak out ai the ballot box this summer against this odious measure, the Northern Republicans would take it for granted that their party organization would not be injured by the bill, and surely pass it at the next session.

THE BIG TREES. “Pleasure Seeker's” ‘smpressions of the Monsters of the Furest—Marks of Vandalism. d n h it t t t [FROM A CORRESPONDENT OF THE BULLETIN. ] MammMoTtTH GrRovE Hore. CALAVERAS Co., June 3. 1874. MURPHY’S. Murphy’s is one of those old mining settle- ments that have been going from bad to worse for years. In 1850 it is said to have contained two thousand inhabitants, while now about three or four hundred would probably include all. Just as we enter the place we pass near the school-house, a neat, white building, with a fine grove of young pines in front. ‘here are, I believe, some hundred or fo scholars. The burnt district was the former business portion. "There areseveral fine-looking little brick stores, and ifso many of them were not vacant, they would give quite a business place. The largest building is Sperry and Perry’s two-story brick hotel. There is no other edifice of the kind in Murphy’s, and the accomodations are very good. O THE BIG TREES. Murphy’s has always been the starting point fur this grove of trees, being about sixteen niles from here. The stage leaves that place about 7, arriving here at 11; and returning, it leaves the grove at 2, and reaches Sperry’s Ho- tel at 5. For one who is pressed for time, this arrangement is very convenient, as it allows time for one to enjoy a leisurely walk among the trees and get dinner, which ig by no means unwelcome, and take the return stage in the afternoon. A MOONLIGHT RIDE. The first three miles of the distance is up Murphy’s Ravine, where, as we pass along, we have as a companion a rushing stream of water, first on one side of the road and then on the other. ‘This stream supplies water for mining around Murphy’s, and as we get nearer the trees we see where the waters conveyed along distance in flumes and ditches. This natural ditch has saved great expense, and is much bet- ter than any that could be made. After leav- ing the ravine we travel over rolling ridges, and for some distance theditch spoken of above runs by the road-side. At some points we are enabled to obtain extended views of the sur- rounding mountains, while, at one place, as we look away over the adjacent peaks, we see stretching away in the distance the central val- leys of California, while blue against the bluer sky stands the long ridge of the Coast Range. Riding along, the moon illumines up the lanc- scape with its peculiar light, giying an effect that one must see to appreciate. As we glance into the deep giades and among the clustering trees, long shadows creep along, and the wind singing among the'tree-tops, together with the occa- sional bark of some shake-splitter’s dog, which resounds from one mountain side to another, gives the ride a strange weirdness, and the fan- cy might call up strange shapes to people the deep recessess of the mountains as we trot a- head. THE TWO SENTINELS. Just as we reached the grove and werea short distance from the hotel, the road led us between the Two Sentinels. One stands on either hand, and as we gaze abaft we see their tops meet. So gradual is the inclination to each other, and their height so great that, if we only look at the foot of the trees, they seem perfectly erect. . “The giant trees, in silent majesty, like pillars, stand’ neath Heaven’s mighty dome.’ MORNING IN THE FOREST. If there is any place where it is a virtue to rise early it is here. As we go out upon the hotel porch we have facing us & broad belt of timber, with a few of the giants of the forest standing boldly out, inviting us to penetrate the deeper recesses and behold the still larger trees, Not only are the sequoia found here, but numerous cedars, sugar, and pitch pines of enormous size—trees that any- where else would be regarded as extraordinary, but which are dwarfed by the side of their lar- ger brethren. A WALK AMONG THE TREES. As it is not breakfast time we determine to take astroll into the grove. Abouta hundred yards from the hotel we come to the first trees. These, from the hotel, look litle larger than the surrounding pines, but when we look up into their branches and walk around their trunks, we can fully appreciate their gigantic proportions, The first trees we meet are *U. 8.

Seventy yards east of the “Miners’ Cabin.” we come to “The Three Graces,” which stand sideby side. These treestogether measvre ninety-two feet in circumference, and are all nearly two hundred and ninety-five feet high.

It is 325 ieet long and 97 feet in circumference. We still pass on and the path carries us among other giants, each one bewildering in height and size.

Epitors WATCHMAN :—That region of country at and arround Huntsville, Yadkin county, is one of rare beauty and boundless fertility. Indeed there is no section of the valley of the Yadkin anywhere that sarpass- es it in all the elements of essentialness, pic- is said of the fertility of the Yadkin cuunty | t lands may also be said of those of Farming- ton, in Davie county, four miles south of Huntsville. Almost eyery product known to this continent grows well in thuse sec- tions, and it is gratifying to know that the grape culture is receiving marked atten- tion. Mr. G. W. JOHNSON, of Farmington, Vavie county, was one of the first, if not the very first, who commenc- , ed the experiment of grape culture in all that section of country. He now has a vineyard of 24 acres the greater part of which is in luxuriant bearing condition, and had not the frost of the 30th April last, somewhat dam- aged the vines, his crop of wine this year would have measured 1,500 gallons, Twen- ty varieties of grapes have been cultivated by Mr. Johnson. The following are consid- ered, by kim, not only the best, but the most reliable bearers:— The Concord, which is universally admitted to be the best for all latitudes ; is a good table and wine grape, is sweeter and better in this than in higher latitudes, the Clinton, the Hartford Prolific and the Lenoir. Mr. Johnson has several hundred gallons of wine now on band, made in 1871-72 and 1873 of pure hla of the grape. His Hartford Prolific, Concord and Clinton wines are prime. i j No one need fear any adulteratiou iu his wines. Cost OF VINEYARDS PER ACRE. Concord grape-vines should be set about eight feet apatt in the row, avd the rows a- bout six feet apart, or about a thousand vines to the acre. Some plant but seven hundred and fifty to the acre. It requires about fiye hundred posts to the acre. The posts should be cedar. These should not cost more than fiye cents a piece, or #25 to the acre. Galvanized wire for trellises about $40 per acre. The vines cost from $15 to $25 a thousand. When two years old the vines will yield from two to two anda half pounds of grapes. The fourth year, from five to ten pounds to the viue if properly cultivated aud mauaged. This ought at once to become a grape growing and wine producing instead of a whiskey inaking country, aud he who can induce the people thereof to become sensible of this fact and act accordingly, will be just- ly counted the greatest benefactor of this age. This growing necessity seems to have taken hold of the minds of the people in alinost every State, and hence the efforts here and there to ascertain the best varieties fur high and low !atitudes. Close observation induc- es us to inention the following as among the best varieties for the Southern States: Ives’s seedling is a large, fine, black grape, ripens nearly two weeks soouer than the Concord. a good table and wine grape, yields, accord- ing to the best experiments, nearly twice a8 much brandy asthe Concord.

Herein we should be only practicing upou the policy adopted by nearly all the North Western States, who though their lands al- ready teem with the people of all nations, do not, for a day, intermit exertions to keep up and direct the humantide which is settiog westward from Europe to their respective States. The people should demand prompt, ener- getic, and liberal action on the part of their representatives in the uext Legislature one this inost important question. Especially should our western meinbers look at the benefits that would flow from the consumma- tion of such legislation as would induce im- inigration and emigration amonget us. The Weet, in climate, in svil, in minerals. ia water power, in beautiful Scenery and health- fulness, surpasses the East, and yet the east is having quite an influx of immigration es- pecially in Warren and Granville counties, along the Raleigh aud Gaston Railroad. The great peach orchards, covering several thoa- sand acres, aud the vineyards, covering sey- eral hundred, are beginning to bring in eon- siderable revenue. Those counties eontain the first healthy oplands which the fuusi- grant by way of Norfolk or Petersburg meets with, and it is natural enough that my friend Col. Little, of Raleigh, and Dr. Hawkins, the wise and energetic President of the rail- road travelling those counties should be s- mong the first to turn that current of immi- gration to profit among their fellows. I hope they will be just a little liberal and send tw the valley of the Yadkin an occasional Caa- adian, Englishman. er any good immigrant from any other clime. But immigrants can be induced to come into the State by way of the Richinond and Danville road, and it is inportant that the iuterprising people of the westery counties should begiu the good work at onee. 4 And here, I will saggest, another import- ant question fur the consideration of our wise inen in connection with the immigrant ple who have already come, and may after come, and settle amougst us. Ever immigraut who makes a purchase of la and settles upon it, should be allowed to vete after a twelve months’ residence. Under the old constitution they would, bathe ear- pet-baggers sought to insist a clause ia the new constitution excluding aliens from the polls until they should become netaralized under the United States laws — in osher words for five years. In this day ef aniter- sal suffrage, without regard to educatiousher property qualification, it is unwise and an- just, to exclude educated and property hoid- ing foreigners. Indeed, this class, as also those emigrating froin the States, should be allowed to vote at the next regular electiop after occupying their ‘ands.

In the conversation as here reported Senator Robertson, having re- ferred to the course Judge Mackey has lately pursued in bringing eriminals to justice, General Giant turned sharply to the latter and asked, “Why don’t you convict Moses?” The Judge replied that he had not had an opportunity of having the robber Gevernor brought to justice.

He says as follows: “About ten years ago, while residing in New Jersey, Lb hada violent attack of chills and fever. The chill would come on regularly about ten o’clock, and continue for nearly two hours, followed by a burning fever for more thau five hours, whichno medicine would relieve ; apd I became so week that I could hardly walk across the room, and could not ascend one flight of stairs in less time than ten minutes. My life became a burden to me. I loathed every kind of food, and even water tasted to me like copperas, I could get ‘no refreshing sleep either by nigbt or by day; the medicine prescribed for ine by physicians gave me no relief, and Twas fast sinking into the grave. Oue day a lady persuaded me to pur chase a box of Vellamy’s Vills. Ltook three attwelye o’clock noon, and three at night After taking the two doses T felt better, and that night, for the first time im three months, slept for fully eighthours. The next morning Ttelt much better, and took three more pills. As ten o'clock approached I prepared myself for my daily chill, but to my intense joy my unwelcome Visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o'clock, I took three more pills, and at might thice more. The next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at seven o'clock, fecling quite well; and although still very week, vet I was able to en- joy my food, and whether cating or drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me. In about seven days’ time Iwas strong enough to walk four miles, and felt perfectly cured. Ten years have elapsed since then, and I have never had another attack of Chills and Fever. “P.

The essence of true nobility is neglect of self. Let the thought of self pasa in, and the beauty of a great action is gone like the bloom from a soiled flower. A Philadelphia gentleman advertises a soap that is destined to wipe out the na- tional debt. ‘Chere is probubly some “‘lye aboat it.” An honest farmer wrote to Dr. Ellis, Presi- dent of the People’s Agricultural & Mechauical Association: ‘Dear Sir :—Please put me down on yourlist of cattle fora ball.”—Piedment Press. Mr. T. B. Kiagsbury, of Oxford, the most talented literary writer in the State, has consented to become a regular contri. bator to the Christian Age, published in New York, by Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems. George W. Smith, ex-member of Con-~ gress from Mississippi, arrived at the Albany penitentiary on Wednesday, 1st inst. He is under a sentence of £1,000 fine and two years’ imprisonment, for embezzlement. A dranken Chinaman feeling rich and elated at his progress in American civili- gation, went through the streets of San Francisco crying, ‘“‘Hoop-la, hoop la! Me all same as Melican man. Wair cut short and drunk like hell!” A mass for the dead was lately celebra- ted in St. Mary’s Prostestant Episcopal Chareh, Svho, London, oyer the body of the Rev. J.C. Chambers. Every body in the church waa dressed in black. This is the first instance of such service in a Pro stant church. The Civil Rights Bill is not favorably received by the press in England. ‘The London Saturday Review says, “ The Civil Rights Bill is probably the expiring flash of an obsolete philanthropy.” So the odor of this iniquitous measnre has penetrated the British nostrils, three thou- sand miles away. It is a little singular that the late Gov. Caldwell never called his council together a single time during his administration. It exhibited a prominent trait in tis-ehar acter—that of self-reliance. He was a man of strong will and great firmness of arpose. He did his own thinking. Gov. rogden, we believe, will listen to the ad- vice of friends. HARD on Op Bacuetors.— In Gil- lie’s history of Greece, we are told that the laws of Lycurgus discovered celibacy by some very extraordinary regulations concerning old bachelors. They were forbidden to dance with women, and were compelled to walk naked through the street in winter singing a ludicrous song whieh confessed the justice of their pun- ishment. REGISTRATION.—A new registration is not required for the August election, but every man who has changed his resi- dence since last election, must register or he cannot vote. Every voter who has heretofore registered should spend one day in examining the registration books to see if his name is on them. Unless your name is on the books you cannot vote. Mrs. McFarland-Richardaon is abont to marry a Chicago man. ‘This seems the proper occasiou to remark, that one of the most conclusive evidences of modern progress is the American widow. She as her exit and her entrances, but her orbit is so eccentric that itis impossible accurately to predict the time when she is going to transit. Moreover, although ehe is not always as brilliant as the head- light of a locomotive, you can tell she car- ries a power of steam by the way slic blows off.— Brooklyn Argus.

The shoe as it is to-day, with its low, broad heel, its wide sole, and high top is the best that has ever becn devised, and it wili never bo superseded by anything that will be more becoming, more tasty, or more available for all purposes. New Desian ror PostaLt CarDs.— ithas been in contemplation for some time past to change the design of the present postal card. A number of speci- mens have been submitted by the Morgan Envelope Company, the firm which has the contract for printing the carda now in use. The present card is considered unsuitable in several respects. Itis too sombre in color, and the border is gen-~ erally ed as too heavy. The new eard will be lighter in color, probably very nearly white. The printing and engraving will be executed in black iuk, and the border will be narrower aud much neater in appearance. The change has not yet been fully decided upon, but it is safe to say that some alteration in the ae of the present homely card will be 8. ‘the old home! tera yee ere on [From the Chicago Times. ] “Tue IuMwortTaL Jackson.” —Grant took off his hat and. gravely remarked, “The Immortal Jackson,” when the band of the old Stonewall serenaded him, the other day. Le would have said the same thing several years sooner if he had com- manded the Army of the Potomac at any time prior to Chancelorsville. If he could be so moved by a serenade of the old Stonewall band we shudder to think what would have been his enthusiasm over one of the screnades of the old brig- ade itself. The Asheville Pioneer saya: On Sun- day last, Mr. Wilson, of Brevard, took from his trap a fish which bad attracted considerable attention. It was 44 feet long, and had a bill resembling that of a bird, 14 inches long, and three broad. Its mouth was directly under the eyes, and measured seven inches in width. It was 18 inches in circumference, with tail fins 14 ivchea broad. It weighed 28 pounds, and its color resembled that ofa dike or jack-fish, except the head and bill, which were spotted. With the ex- ception of its bead, this singular fish was eutirely boueless. In Sabtha, Kan.; recently, a dog ran intoa stable and bit-a very valuable horse. The owner of the horse, rather than kill the bitten animal, doctored it. ‘The horse wa3 seized with hydrophobia, broke out of the stable, and killed a man, seriously injared another, and at last accounts was in a fair way to depopulate any small town that may lie in his way. Wowen’s thoughts are ever tarned upon appearing amiable to the other sex; they talk and move and smile with desiga upon us. Every feature of their faces, every part of their dress is filled with snares and allurements. There woald be no such animals as prudes and coquettes in the world were there not such an animal as man.— Addison. In urging the Southern vuters to stand by the Democratic party, the Savannah (Ga.) News says: ‘Surely if New Eng- land Democrats can afford to stand firm in their devotion to Democratic organiza~ tion, we of the South can afford to imitate their example. While our Northern friends preserve their consistency, and still con» tend for the party and principles of the Constitution, we of the South should not prove recreant. Home and mother. Said Beecher in bis sermon last Sunday: Where is the most joy? You know just as well as | do that, taking all things together there is more joy in home than anywhere else. ‘he mother singing by the cradle side does not care for the routs and parties going on in society. Mer baby is worth more than all the resplendeut pleasures in the world. And what is her babe to her? A burden? Yes. What is it? A yoke of servitude. Yes, an easy yoke. What is her babe to her? A remunera- tor? It does not even kuow her. It does not understand a word she says. She carries it in her bosom all night. It eats her. It is her jaiior; shuts her up in the house, takes her from a thousand habits and customed ways of life, and her friendships are all swallowed up in this. She gives her life to it. Day and night she pours if out apon the most lelpless thing that lives, and yet she is the happiest creature. She never seems +o herself so happy as when with her hélpless child she sits and it croons and she sings, and her heart is glad. Her happiness consists in the pouring out of everything that is sweet and beautiful and noble in womanhood into this uncon- scious receptacle—her little child. Look at the whole household life. Is there anything in this world that men can look back to as they can to a good home? Oh! We remember it for some reasons and for others; but after all, with its instruc tions and its regulations, its restraints, its noes and shalls and everything else, it is the Eden of a man’s memory, and when old age makes men’s hands quiver through the long life, they have forgotten almost everything but home.

Walker’s California Vin- Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sicrra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. Tho question is almost daily asked, ‘ What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT- TERS?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world bas a medicine been compounded __ possessing the remarkable qualities of ViNkGAR DITTERS in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gaps, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BIITERS, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid mattcr with which tho bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating tho secretions of the liver, and gencrally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fuids with VINEGAR Bitrers. No epidemic can take bold of a system thus fore-armed.

Why don’t you take the papers, They're the life of iny delight, Except about election time, Aud then I read from spite. Subecribe you can not lose a cent, Why should I be afraid ?. For cash thus spent, is money lent, Un iuterest four fold paid. I know two friends, as much alike As ever you saw two stumps, And oo phrenologist could find A difference in their bumps. One took papers ; and all his life Was happier than a king’s ; His children all could read and write, And talk of men and things. The other took no paper. And while strolling through the wood, A tree fall upon his crown, And killed him—very good. Had he been reading of the news At home, like neighbor Jim, I'll bet a cent that accident Would never happened him. Go then and take papers, And pay to-day—pray not delay, Aud my word heard, it is inferred, You will live tll you are gray. —_—_~ > ____ ADVICE TO JOHN. If you shonld e’er get married, John. I'll tell you what to do; Go get a litle tenement. Just big enough for two, And one spare room for company, And one spare bed within it. If you'd begin Love's life aright, You'd better thus begin it. Ia furniture be moderate, John, And let the stuffed chairs wait ; One looking-glass will do for both Yourself and loving mate; And Brussels, too, and other things Which make a fine appearance, If you cam better afford it, they Will better look a year hence. Some think they must have pictures, John, Superb and costly. too ; our wife will be a picture, Jobo, Let that suffice for you. Remember what the wise man said : “A tent and love within it, Is better than a splendid house With bickering every minute.” Aad one word as to cooking, John; our wife can do it best; @ love to make the biscuit rise yu better far than yeast ; matter if each day you don't rng tarkey to the table Will better relish by and by, €0 you are better able. For all yon buy pay money, Jobn, I Money earned every day ; ee Would have your lite ran smooth, here is no better way. A note to pay is an ugly thing, [If thing you please to eall it] When it hangs o’er & man who has No money in bis wallet. And now when you are married, Jobn, Don’t try to ape the rich ; It tvok them many a toilsome year To gain their envied niche: And as you gain thesummit, Juho, Look well to your beginning, Aad then will all yoo win repay The gare and toil of winning. __ SO AT THE GARDEN-GAT«<. a 4 SUMMER PICTURE. The light of a summer sunset still lingers adown the west, The tender charm of the gloaming is full vf a quiet rest ; The trembling stars are faint and few in the misty sky above, AsI stand alone at the garden-gate — waiting for you, my love. Over archway, and vine. and trellis, the perfumed roses cling, Some rich with the hue of damask, some white as the buds of spring; This, proud as an Orient beauty, lifting her glowing cheek, That, fair as a stainless vestal, gentle, and pure. and meek. The belmy breeze of the sunset steals by like a shy caress, Sent ont from the golden cloud-land to the earth’s rich loveliness ; It comes with the breath of summer on its pinions as they pass, Rustling the drooping foliage, and stirring the fragrant grass. In the starry shade of the jasmine, a ves- per-song is heard, Tender, and sweet, and joyous, from the throat of a mocking-bird ; And, there in the shadowy woodlands, here in the oak-tree hid, Ringing clear through the stillness is the voice of the katy-did. The far-off low of cattle, and the sound of a tinkling bell, Come faintly borne throngh the twilight from a gentle upland swell ; And where the dark-green forest melts blue into distance fair, A scént of sweet, fresh clover breathes on the dewy air, In the magic light of the gleaming, the royal fields of June, Rest under the gracious promise of a fair young harvest-moon; It hangs like a golden sickle where the ‘tints are suft and bright, And the sunset glow will scarcely fade through the whole long suinmer night. And, far in the purple hollow, under the crest of the hill, I hear the fret of the water as it dashes a- round the mill ; I hear it hurrying onward, singing a sweet old tune— Sweet as the suinmer fragrance, old as the skies of June: A song of love and of parting, of faith and of courage too— Of faith that has never faltered, of love that is ever true! Of quiet and patient yearning, of hope that has learned to wait; And perhaps—who knows ?—of a maiden, alone at a garden-gate CHRISTIAN REID. —Appleton's Journal. os Human Testimony. Within a tew months, says the Boston Traveler, a paper purporting to be a mort- dage of personal property was handeda prominent legal gentleman on the witness stand in Supreme Conrt, and he, under oath, etated that he saw the person sign the paper, and that his name was attached as witness in his handwriting. Ile was closely pressed by the opposing counsel to carefully examine and see if he did see the person sign it, and specially if his (the witness’s) name was writen thereon by himself. He examined and replied to both in the affirmative. It afterwards appeared, in uncontradicted evidence, that the paper submitted was a copy of the or- iginal mortgage furnished by the City Clerk. rm Why He Shot Him From a Window Some friend of Congressman Sloas has written toa Memphis paper an explanation of his action in shooting Long, the slanderer of his daughter. from a winder in Tuscumbia, Ala. He says: “The young lady was in delicate health, being consumptive, and by the advice of physicians, the family spent the winter in Thomasville, Ga., a place of no little 1epute asa resort for those afflicted with consumption. It appears that Long commenced his slanderous lies while the family were in Georgia, and became bolder in his language since their return, about a month since. Still the family heard nothing of these rumors, those knowing of them either being over-modest or afraid to tell. When Mr. Sloss came on the street on Saturday, hav- ing the night before returned from Congress, he was made acquainted with the facts and never got them from his family, for they knew nothing. He wanted to attack the fellow on the street immediately, but was told by his friends that Long was heavily armed, and also had the sworn promise of seven young men, whose minds and morals, we presume from his course, he had pervented, tostay by him when on the streeta, and fight for him if he got in a difficulty, This decidedly Sloss as to his action, and he tooked a position in Warren’s store and shot him the first opportunity that presented itself. Six balls struck him—one grazing his head, one penetrating back of the ear, one through the neck, one through the arm, and two in the body. He was living yesterday (Tuesday), but his early demise is expected, after which the trial will take place. Every lawyer in the place volunteered his services but one, besides the Solicitor, within two hours of the shooting. When the existence of this treaty of offence and defence’ became generally known, none of the class of citi blamed Mr. Sloss for not rie kien Civil Rights and Social uality. : The Republican Party is in favor of Civil Rights and “Social Equali- ty.” It wants to dictate who shall sit at the tables of an inn, a hotel or a a school-house, or in the boxes of a theatre. It wants social equality, and it wants it by the force of pains and penalties applied to coerce it. the Civil Rights Bill in full, as it passed the Senate of the United States, on the 23rd day of May, 1874: Sec. 1. That all citizens and other per- song within the jurisdiction of the United States be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advan-~ tages, facilities and privileges of inna, public conveyances on land or water, theatres and other places of public amuse- ment, and also of common schools and public institutions of learning or benevo- lence supported, in whole or in part, by general taxation, and also institutions known as agricultural colleges endowed by the United States, and of cemeteries so supported, subject only to the conditions and limitations by law, and applicants alike to citizens of every race an color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude. Sec. 2. That any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to any person entitled to the benefits ex~ cept for reasons by law applicable to the citizens of every race and color, and re- gardless of any previous condition of gers vitade, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileger in said section enumerated, or by aiding or inciting such denial, shall for every such offense forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars to the person ag~ grieved thereby, to be recovered in an ac- tion on the case, with full costs, and shall also, for every such offense, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con- viction thereof, shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars, or shall be imprisoned not more than one year. Pro- vided, That the party aggrieved ehall not recover more than one penalty ; and when the offense is a refusal of burial, the pen alty may be recovered by the heirs at law of the person whose body has been refus- ed burial. And provided further, That all pergous may elect to sue for the pen- alty aforesaid or to proceed under their rights at common law and by Sates etat- utes, and having so selected to proceed in the one mode or the other, their right to proceed in the other jurisdiction shall be barred. But this provision shall not apply to criminal proceedings, either under this act or the criminal law of any State. See. 3. That the district and circuit courta of the United States shall have exclusively of the courts of the several States, cognizance of all crimes and offen- ses against and violations of the provis- ions of this act and actions for the penal: ty given by the preceeding section. may be prosecuted in the territorial district or cireuit courts of the United States wbere- ever the defendant may be found, without regard to the other party, and the district attorneys, marshals, and deputy marshals of the United States and commissioners appointed by the circuit and -territorial courts of the United States, with powers of arresting and imprisoning or bailing offeaders against the laws of the United States, are hereby specially authorized and required to institute proceedings a- gainst eyery person who shall violate the provisions of this act, and canse him to be arrested and imprisoned or bailed, as the case may be, for the trial before such court of the United States or territorial court as by law has cognizance of the offence, except in the respect of the right of action accruing to the person aggrieved, and such district, attorneys shall cause such proceedings to be prosecuted to their termination as in other cases. Provided, That nothing contained in this section shall be construed to deny or defeat any right of civil action accruing to any pers son, whether by reason of this act or otherwise. Sec. 4. That no citizen possessing all other qualifications which are or may be prescribed by law shall be qnalified for service as grand or petit juror in any court of the United States, or of any State, on account of race, color or previous conx dition of servitude, and any officer or oth- er person charged with any duty in the selection or summoning jurors who shall exclude or fail to summon any citizen for the cause aforesaid shall, on cons viction thereof, be deemed guilty ofa misdemeaaor, and fined not more than $1,000. See. 5. That all cases arising under the provisions of this act in the courts of the United States shal! be reviewable by the Supreme Court of the United States without regard to the sum in controversy, ander the same provisions and regulations as are pow provided by law for the re- view of other causes in said court. The Bill passed by the following vote: Scott, Boutwell, Mitcheli, Spencer, Bucking- ham, Morrill, (Vt.) Stewart, Conkling, Oglesby, Wadleigh, Edmunds, Patterson, ashburn, Flanagan, Pease, West, Freling- huysen, Pratt, Windom, Hamlin, Ramsey, Wright, Harvey and Robertson—29. _ Nays.—Bogy, Hamilton (Md.), Merrimon, Boreman, Johntson, Norwood, Carpenter, Kelly, Ransom, Cooper, Lewis, Saulsbury, Davis, McCreery, Stockton, Hager.—16. Messrs. Morton, Cameron, Hitchcock, Chandler, Fe (Mich.), Sherman, and Lo- gan, who would have voted for the bill, were ired with Messrs. Stevenson, Eee Kipton, Bayard, Dennis Gol te, boarding house, or on the benches of The followimg are the provisions of “ Alcorn, Howe, Sargent, Allison, Ingalls, 4 Gordon, who would have voted against it.” Not a single democrat voted for the bill—and only three Republicans yoted against it, viz: Boreraan (W. Va.), Carpenter (Wis.) and Lewis (Va.)— In advoeating the passage of the bill, Mr. Boutwell, of (Mass.) one of the most prominent Republicans in the Senate, and a recognized leader of the Republican Party, distinctly declared, that where separate schools for the two races were possible, he would as a matter of public policy oppose their establishment. Mr. Boutwell said: _ “And therefore, I say, if it were possible, as in the large cities it is possible, to establish ree schools for black children and for ‘white children, it is ia the highést degree in- expedient to either establish or tolerate such schools, “The theory of human equality cannot be taught in families, taking into account the different conditions of the different mem- bers of the families com sing human so- ciety; but in the public schools, where children of all classes and conditions are brought together, this doctrine of human equality can be taught, and it is the chief means of securing the perpetuity of Repub- lican institutions. And inasmuch as we have in this country four million of colored people, I assume that it isa public duty that they and the white people of the country, with whom they are to be associated in political and public affairs, shall be assimilated and made one in the fundamental idea of human equality. Therefore, where it would be possible to establish distinct schools, I am against it as a matter of public policy.” A square vote was not taken upon the bill in the House of Representa- tives. But a large majority of the Republican Party always voted to take the Bill from the Speaker’s table, and put it upon its passage. This re- quired a two-thirds vote. If the rules could have been suspended, the bill would have undoubtedly passed the Honse by a large majority. It is sometimes said, that President Grant will veto the Civil Rights Bill should Congress pass it. But he has twice — in two separate messages — committed himself to the principles of the Bill: In his last inaugural, March 4, 1873, he said :— “The effects of the late civil strife have been to free the slave and make him a citizen. Yet he is not possessed of the civil TIguts which citizenship should carry with it. This is wrong, and should be corrected. To this correction I stand committed, so far as execu- tive influence can avail. “Social equality is not a thing to be leg- islated upon, nor shall I ask that anything be done to advance the social status of the colored man, except to give him a fair chance to develope what there is good in him, give him access to the schools, and when he travels let him feel assured that his conduct will regulate the treatment and fare he will receive,” In his last message, December 1, 1873, “he told Congress that he suggested for their consideration “the enactment of a law to “better secure the civil rights which free- “dom should securg, but has not effectually “secured, to the enfranchised slave.” Un- der the circumstances nothing can be more conclusive than this as to President Grant's probable action in the premises.” The following extract from the late address of “The Union Republican (Congressional Committee,” dated July 16, 1874, will show that the National Republican Party is not only commit- ted to the Civil Rights Bill, but that it is one of the issues in the present canvass, The address is “to the peo- ple of the United States.” “OUR MISSION NOT ENDED. “It is sometimes said the mission of “the Republican Party is accomplish- “ed— * * * The occasion for “ political effort has not passed. A- merican progress is not ended * * * * * * * Three great la- bors demand your honest consider- ation. First. You lave to see that what is done shall not be undone. Republicanism offers you the best security against retrogression. Second. You have to see that the work of Reform goes forward. The fourteenth amendment to the Constitution is not yet enforced by “appropriate legislation.” Millions of American citizens are denied even “ the common law rights of locomotion “ because they are black.” Some white Republicans in North Carolina say they are opposed to the Civil Rights Bill. But they continue to vote with the Republican Party which is almost unanimously for it. Certainly the Republican Party in North Carolina is for it, if it may be judged by its officials acts. The Republican Constitutional Cor- vention of 1868 committed itself to the principle of social equality, by declar- ing by solemn enactment, that the mar- riage of the Ex-Mayor of Fayetteville, A. G. Thornton (a white man) with a negro women was valid and binding. “And at the last session of the General As- “ce “a 6 “ “ “ ween bi civil Tights was discussed at length, when Mr. Houston, of Catawba, offered the following resolution by way of i who was for and against civil rights. Ev megro member voted for it or dod The vote to lay on the table was a vote favoring civil rights. The resolution reads: A RESOLUTION ENTITLED A PROTEST AGAINST THE PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL BY CONGRESS, Resolved, That the General Assembly of North Carolina do most earnestly and re- spectfully petition the Congress of the Uni- ted Tae to pass the bill now pending in the Hof of Kepresentatives, known as the Supplementary Civil Rights Bill, believ- ing, as we do, that the immediate effects of such a law would be the suppression of our public schools for both white and colored : the closing of many of our houses of worship; the ruin of our landlords and hotel proprie- tors, as well as the thorough demoralization of our society and the cause of bitter strife between the two races. From a thorough knowledge of the situation we are satisfied that the bill would operate most disastrous- ly to our best interest, and therefore we pre- fer this petition. Guyther, (white Radical for Washington county) moved to lay it upon the table. The ayes and noes being called, the motion was rejected by the following vote: AyEs—Abbott, Bean, Bowe, Brown of Davidson ; Bryant of Halifax; Bunn, Cobb, Corson, Dudley, Eillson, Foster, Gilbert, Goodwyn, Gray, Guyther, Hampton, Hughes, Jones of Northampton; Jordan, Lloyd, Lut- terloh, McLaurin, Miller, Michael, Paschal, Perry of Bladen, Sharp, Sneed and Wins- low.—29. Nays—Anderson of Davie, Ballard, Ben- nett, Blackwell, Blythe, Bowman, Bryson of Jackson, Bryson of Swain, Bryan of Pitt: Bryan of Sampson, Bryan of Wilkes, Bryan of Alleghany, Brooks, Carter, Costner, Cox, Craige, Dickey, Dula, Freeman, Grant, Gil mer, Godfrey, Gorman, Grady, Gudger, Haynes, Houston, Johnston, Jones of Cald- well, Jones of Orange, Jones of Tyrrell, Joy- ner, Johns, Lindsay, Lucky, Marle Maxwell, McGehee, McNeil, Mitchell, Moring, Moss, Norment, Reid of Mecklenburg, Presgon, Richardson, Settle, Shaw, Shinn of Iredell, Shinn of Cabarrus, Shackleford, Stowe, Stan- ford, Todd, Turner, Warlick, Waddill, Wat- son, Webb, Waugh, Wiley, Whitmire, Whis- nant and Woodhouse.—65. Every Democrat voted against tabling the resolutions, which showed clearly they were opposed to civil rights. Every negro and several of their white allies voted to table, thereby showing they favored civil rights. The vote on Houston's resolution tells you what party and what men favor civil rights. The attention of the white men of Rowan County is earnestly called to the foregoing facts. A grave respon- sibility rests upon them. We do not believe any intelligent and honest white man in the South is in favor of the Bill atheart. But if they vote for so-called Republicans—no matter what their professions may be—or refuse to vote at all—they will be giving their aid and influence to.a party which is pledged to carry out this infamous measure. White men of Rowan, regis- ter and vote ; vote against the Radical party and all its supporters and sym- pathizers ! Vote down social equality ! If you must be degraded, politically and socially, let it not be by your own acts! This Civil Rights Bill proposes to put white and black together in schools, in hotels, in places of public amusements, and in public conveyan- ces. It is an attempt to force on the Country social equality. It will not affectthe rich but the poorer classes. To quote Mr. Saulsbury, U. S. Senator (Dem.) of Delaware, “‘it will bear heav- ily upon the poor whiteman. He would be compelled by stern necessity to send his children to the public free schools, if sent at all, while the rich man out of the abundance of his riches would em- ploy a private teacher, and thus avoid the stigma of mixing his children with the colored.” White men to the rescue! Register! Vote! Vote your principles! Vote against Social Equality! Vote in solid columns! In organization there is safety! There is danger in division! No man who continues to act with the Republican Party, or who refuses to take grounds against it, is en- titled to the suffrages of any man who is opposed to social equality—for that party is squarely committed to the Civil Rights Bill, and every man who votes and acts with that party is lend- ing his influence to the support of that measure. THE MATRIMONIAL CHANCES'—The chances of females being married before the age of twenty years are as one to five of all the probabilities that they will ever marry. At the age of twenty years one= fifth of all their chances are gone. At twenty-five a little over two-thirds, and at thirty nearly six sevenths of all their probabilities are lost. After passing the age of forty a female has a very slight chance of very being married, over twen- ty-nine thirtieths of all their chances being lost. At the age oftwenty the chances of males beiug married are scarcely at all lessened. At twenty-five there are still three-fifths of their chances remaining. From this period on they diminish, but in a smaller proportion than with females.— Philadeipia a of Health. NO. 41.--WHOLE NO. 1980 FIFTY LADIES IN WATER. ee Swimming Matches near Fort Hamilton —The Winners and the Prizes. At Fort Hamilton on W the novel spectacle was presented of over fif, ty ladies sporting in the water, under the direction of Mrs. A Bennett, who has fit- ted up pleasant bath houses on the beach about a quarter of a mile from the fort.— Seven swimming matches were arranged for prizes presented by Mrs. Bennett.— Three ladies contested in each race, all being pupils of Mrs. Bennett at the free swimming bath at the foot ot Eleventh street, New York. The distance was one hundred and fifty yards out, around aj stake boat and return, making altogether three hundred yards. The first prize, a gold opera ebain, was contested for by Annie Mason, Adelaide Mason, and Sophie Steyens, and was won by Miss Stevens. The next contest was between Mary Graham, Kate Sommers, and Pauline Broughton, fora gold neck chain, which was won by Miss “Brough- ton. ‘The third race, for a locket, brought out Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Donefas, and Mrs. Daly and the latter won. The fourth prize, a sct of good jewelry, was won by Amelia Broughton after a good race, beating Mrs. Skidmore and Maria Con- ine. Agnes Silons, aged nine years, won the fifth prize, a gold ring, her com peti- tors being Addie Bayeukamp and Mary Monroe. Mrs. Barth won a pair of earrings, and Miss Sandmeyer a pair of bracelets. Mr. W. J. Davis of Court street Brooklyn, is to present a watch to the best swinimer at the next match two weeks hence. “YOUNG MEN FOR WAR.” “The late General Halleck, in his book on ‘Military Science and Art,’ has a very interesting chapter on the age of gener~ als of the world, in which he shows, by a powerfal array of statistics that, with a few exceptiona, nearly all the successful campaigns of history have been fought by young men.” Gustavus Adolphus was a mere infant of seventeen when he opened war against Russia, Poland and Denmark, and crush- ed their combined forces on land and on the Baltic. He was twenty when the crown of subjugated Russia lay at his feet, and his dazzled generals vainly be- sought him to usurp it; but thirty-foor when he poured like a devasting torrent through Aastria, taking eighty fortresses and forcing the “invincible” Ferdinand II. to pray for peace. At twenty years old the boy Alexan- der set the warlike States of Greece under the heel of Macedonia, and at twenty-one, with an army of less than 50,000 all told, swept like a deluge over Asia, cunquer- ing Darin’s army of 600,000 men in the most decisive battle 6f history. Hannibal, at twenty-five, startled the world for all time by leading his army of 59,000 men over the Alps, and shak- ing the power of Rome to its very foun- dation. And the greatest and younger of all, Napoleon. Taking Toulon at twenty- three and Piedmont at twenty-four; es. tablishing a government for France at twenty-five ; revolutionizing the whole art of war at twenty-six ; erushing a eoa lition of all Europe at twenty-seven ; over- running Egypt at twenty-nine; Consul and virtual ruler of France at thirty ; sov- ereign of France and ruler and king-mak- er of Europe at thirty-three! Genius is never so sublime as when coupled with youth. ———__ ~~ Boxing the Ears. Many achild had been made deaf tor life by it, because the ‘drum of the ear’ is a membrance as thin as paper, which stretches like a curtain just inside the ex- ternal entrance of the ear ; there is noth- ing but air jast behind it, and any viclent concussion is liable to rend if in two, and the ‘hearing’ is destroyed for ever, because the sense of hearing is caused by the vibrations of thedrum or ‘tympanum.’ ‘Picking the ears’ is a most mischievous practice. In attempting to do this with a hard eubstance, an unlucky motion has many a time pierced the drum and made it as useless as pierced India-rubber life preserver. Nothing sharper nor harder than the end of the little finger, with the nail pared, ought ever to be introduced into the ear, unless by a physician. Per- sons are often seen endeavoring to remove the wax of the ear with the head end ofa pin. ‘This ought never to be done; first because it not only endangers the rapture of the ear by being pashed too far in ; but if not so far it may grateagainst the drum and excite inflamation. Secondly, hard substances have often slipped in and caused the necessity of painful and dan- gerous operations. ‘I’hirdly, the wax is manufactured by nature to guard the en- trance from dast, insects and unmodified cold air, and when it has eubserved its purpose it becomes dry, scaly, light, and in this condition, is easily pushed outside by new formations of wax within. Occa- sionally wax may barden and may inter- fere with the hearing. A safe plan is to let fall into the ear three or four drops of tepid water, night and morning, bat gly< cerine preferable. Next tothe eye, the ear is the most delicate organ of the hu- man body. a The astronomical editor of the Mem- phis Avalanche is of the opinion that the tail of the Coggia comet is made up of Alex. H. Stephens’ old editorial para- phs in Atlanta Sum. If this theor Cate correct one, that comet has a m longer and denser tail than most astrono~ mers suppose. The Latest Wontler. Young Brown, the mind reader, who ig puzzling New York, has a formidable rival in a Mrs. Miller, who. ig, Ohicago. The meatal ex ments te which she is subjected are said to be won- derfal, but her physical powers still more striking. Having magnetized a small . passing her haads over the top and the legs, she turns it on its face and: ee any gentleman present to turn ack to 6 apon ite si allow- ing her to place the tip of ber sees upon ‘any part of it.

Another phase of Mrs. Miller's mediumsbip is slate-wri- ting. The visitor is allowed to bring bis own slate—a doable-locked slate if he chooses—and when the mediam has held it under a table, intelligent answers to questions, or other tests, are invariably found written on the inside of the locked slate. But her piece de resistence is her materializing phase. For scientific and, test experiments this lady is the best me- - well, though are pat on her person so quickly that ab- solutely no time is consumed. Co ing that she was not tied at all, but was free to do with her hands as she chose, ; she could not manipulate three large chairs as they are manipulated in her presence.

There, where the thiek stream of bright stars which skirts the Milky Way crosses the river of light, ita brilliancy is wondrously increased, and it exhibits a magnificence unequaled in any other portion of the heavens. There glit- ter a multitude of bright stars, more thick- ly scattered than in any region within our Northern view, while the background is gorgeous in its splendor. Often, on some clear night, when it has suddenly been brought to my view in passing some street corner, I have stood amazed at the flood of light which it diffased; and often, too, after leaving the observatory in the early morning hours, after a night of weary labor, I have felt reluctant to eaban- don tne magnificent spectacle to seek the mucheneeded repose. In close proximity are the six conatellations of the Centaur, the keel and sails of theship Argo, and the wolf, and the glory reaches through the Altar, even to the Southern portion of the Scordion. There are large tracks which rival even the Pleiades in the prow fusion of their stars gleaming upon a ‘background of nebula. Elsewhere the Soathern heavens are not so brilliant as the Northern, nor doghey contain so many stars as bright as th@faintest we can dis- cern; but there is nothing between the two poles to compare in beauty with the tract to which I refer." THEovGH THE AIR TO Evcrorr.— Mr. Donaldeon, by his late experimentai balloon trip, has so inspired the manage~ ment of the Epgedeoms with the idea that the ‘‘westerly current” exists that they have gone to the expense of import ing cloth from Europe for the parpose of making a balloon for him to go to Europe in. The cloth is said to be the finest ever made for the purpose. It ie compos- ed of silk and linen, and woven in the strongest manner. Eight people are en- gaged in sewing up the great air-ship, and on Tuesday next it is to receive its firat coat of varnish, and on ‘Chursday the second. Friday, the day appointed for sailing is now being anxiously looked forward to by Mr. Donaldson and those who have received invitations to ascend. The balloon is to be forty-seven feet in diameter, and will be inflated with 36,000 feet of gas. Its lifting power will be 2,- 500 pounds, while the basket and net weigh 500 pounds. Professor Donaldson expects to carry nine people besides him- self, and he estimates the weight of hu- manity and ballast at 1,628 pounds. A boat has been constructed for the trip, as the Professor intends to come back by water, or at least part of the way, and every precaution will be taken for safety that can be thought of. Mr. Donaldson says that there are three currents to con- tend against after the altitude of 2,000 feet is reached, but that he can so mans age bis balloon as to take either one of them.—NV. Y.

It is a first class sen- sation and eargerly devoured by the bond- holding and cod«fish aristocracy of Yan- keedoodledom. Beecher has fallen! Tilton has fallen ! Beecher, the flippant rhodomontadist, the great representative man of Northern ideas and Northern-isms, the ritualistic hambug and briliant hypocrite, the true exponent of that particular sect represen~ ted by Plymouth church, and of that pro- gressive sort of religion which would set aside the bible and use instead the ingen- eous sophistry of purely human logic and devise —has been hurled, gcemingly by a mysterous providence, from the high pin- nacle he has reached in the estimation of an admiring North, down to the lowest depths of shame and degradation.

When we remember that Beecher’s great popularity is owing in a great measure lu his apparent success a Ee” Let no one be deceived, the issue presented is negro domination, social e- quality with negroes, or civil rights. The triamph of Radicaliem next Thursday is the triumph of these abominations. 4 Those who favor the mixing of the white and black children in the pub- races jn hotels, in churches, in railroad ears,in theatres, and all publie assemblies, should ‘vote for Radicals next Thursday’; for the Radical party favors these things. oY a a rar A fight between the county candidates at Beanfort a few days ago resulted iu peveral of the participants getting severe- ly wounded, and in the death of a Mr. Kerman, a one legged Confederate soldier, who was standing off not ingaged. ——~~.So- Fe The canvass in this county is pro- gressing finally. : oS Mr. J. II. Clement, the Democratic gandidate for Senator, has made a most favorable impression in this county so far. . Believing that his services are more need- ed in Davie, he will devote the remainder of the canvass to that county, while Capt. W. H. Crawford, who kindly volunteered to do eo, will fill all his appointments in this county. The Capt. is dojng Yeo. moan’s service iv the present canvass. ae er A equad of Radg and negroes got together ten Gays pr two weeks ago, iu this place, and nominated a ticket for County Comniseioners, and endorsed such as aré running in this county as indepen- dents, for other offices. The ticket they propose for County Commissioners js com- posed entirely of Conservatives, who are, as we believe, proposed without their con- pont. At any rate, it is a dodge to beat, it possible, the regular nominecs of the Conservative party, in order that they may crow over it as a Radical triumph. Let Conservatives beware. The only pafety is in supporting the regular Con- servative ticket throughout. We want and must have a good and well posied man in the county Board from * gown, and the regular ticket of the Con- prrvative party was evidently selected yith a view to this matter. Dr. Coleman aud ILcary Barringer, Esq., were selected frow beiow tie Raiivad, and J G Fleming and J. McLean, Keqrs., from above, while ' Mr. Darts was agreed apo ag the proper porson f:om (be town.

It is not strange, therefore, that he should fail.

But the office holders could not think of giving up the emoluments avd spoils of office so easily and something must be done dead now than it was then—all the difference is in the denomination. “Glory be to God!” cried the puritanical Yankee, when Lee surrendered in 1865; “We have now a country coinplety free— every man in this wide dumain, to shore, is free!” from shore The negroes were free, in one very limited tu enable them to continne iu control of the positions and money of the Nation, and to degrade aid insult the people of the South.

Aud why, in the name of cominon sense and eyerlasting tight, cannot men who kuow speak out the whole truth about our vital in- terests and inevitable fate? Why not bring the black thing right out into the broad, clear sunshine of this year of grace, 18747 Why uot, as a friend quaiatly suggests. ‘cut thegcore wide open aud let the corruption run?) Why shonid not the people kuow the worst? Is the lens of the future so dark we dare not examine it? Cana people, who have suffered all the dire calamities of civil war aud defeat, be so weak and’ untried in uerve, so lackiug in-courage, as not to wish orattempt to look their fiual degradation fairly and squarely in the face ? North Carvliuians! Yun hear a vast deal of talk about ininor matters these days — a- bout ‘free suffrage” and “civil tights’ and’ the “press gag-law,”” and I need not say what all—these areas drops in the bucket of our misery and but the insignificant ninety- ninth part—they are merely dust aud sand thrown in your eyes while the thief walks off with all you possess. The great and as- tounding huudredth part, that you are grad- ually but surely being t:ansfurmed from in- dependent free-holders into tenants, peasants and serfs; that your State will yet be anoth- er Hungary or Ireland, is eutirely lost sight of or never mentioned! It is scarcely possi- ble for you, free-born vitizens, tu believe it— but it is so; aud I defy auy one to prove that it can be otherwise, uuless the whole current aud drift of affairs ever since 1865 is divine- y over-ruled or miraculously and providen- ually changed. Our real estate is slowly but surely and forever being stolen froin us ! Thousands of our peuple were slain—oar slaye-property was suatched away by force —cunstitutions were framed for us at the point of the bayonet—an abominable half brute suffrage and half-devil rulership was crainmed and jammed and plastered over us —but all these things are bat asa graiv of dirt to the mountain, a gill of water to the ocean—they are as nothing to the full meas: ure of iuiquitous oppression and rain these plotting. speeulating conquerors have in stere for us—they intend to take away our homes and our lands ! Who bought the large plantations which have been sold out for taxes allover the richest and finest portions of South Caroliva? The uative whites or cwners could not — neither could the negroes. Who but the carpet- baggers and the Northern Capitalists that ewploy these traitors as tuvls aud by- bidders for their scheines 2? Who but the sane gang of greedy rascals who haye robbed and sto- len from the State Treasury till they bave left it stripped of the last dollar? It is ouly a question of time when they will play the same game here and sweep the board—reduce us to the last extremes hy taxation and robbery, and then buy up what is left for little or nothing. Is not this a sure thing? Can it be other- wise? We were not so badly overrun im- poverished by the invadiag hordes during the war, nor yet so carsed by overpowering black domination since, and we have all along had more white labor and management here —‘‘only this, and nothing more’—and this it is that has shielded our devoted heads for a season froin the inevitable storm, and averted frum North Carolina for a few days her impending doom. o i Talk about ** confiseation! ’ Here it is, disguised, but more insidious and deadly than if it had come in open form’ of law! But is not this the Yankee’s aviversal mode of} doing business? E. P. i. of which it was not easy to foretell.— and it is now before the country for the pur- pose of holding the Party together and for carrying ont other nefarious schemes. The Republicans dink that the blacks have not yet received rights enough. ‘They want them to be on an equality with the white people of the South in every particular. They want them to have the lawful right to eat at our tables with us in our hotels, they want them to sit with us in our pews in our churches, they want us to receive them as equals in our colleges and common schools, they want us to sit on the same seat with thein in our rail road coaches and other conveyances, they want us to receive them as equals in our benevolant and other insti- tutions, and that we must allow them to be buried in ourgrave yards wherever they wish to select graves. . If we should deny the blacks any of the! above uumerated privileges. they will have | the lawful right to recover damages from us in any United States Conrt, to the amonnt of | five hundred dollars, aud prosecute us ecrim- inally for such denial, and the five is to be nut less than one thousand dullars, and iim- prisonmnent vot less than one year. History bears no evidence on its pages that{there was ever before such a monstrous scheme inveuted by the evil genins of any Party of mortal men, in a civilized gountry, for the humiliation aud degradation of their own race. QO! Shaine where is thy blush ! White men of North Carolina are you pre- pared to subinit to such indignities? No! you are not! We feel assured that you will | repel tiis attempted degradation in a proper | Inanver.

My life became a burden to me. I loathed every kind of fuod, and even water tasted to me like copperas, Leould get no refreshing sleep either by nigbt or by day; the medicine prescribed tor me by physicians gave meno relief, and Twas fast sinking into the grave.

Mr. Eviror :—I[ have just learned froin a reliable source in your town, that some: wan from our portion of the State, has been reporting iu your midst, that, at the Rutber- ford College, we have double cabins put up all over the woods, and that boys and girls are placed in these cabing. boys in ove part and girls iu the other. and that the two sexes are left to run together like pigs without any protection ! I am authorized by the authorities of the college to offer a reward of $10. for the name vf the man who made this report. The facu is, gentlemen, the Rutherford College, originated to meet the .wants, and necessities of all our people, is doing so much good and becoming so popular, that managers of less prosperous schouls besause they work for money only, cease not- day and uight to de upon us. There is not a Female College in’ the State where virtue is more sacred and the young ladies are better protected than here ; aud there is not a Male College in the world where a highertype of pure Christain morals abounds, and where:there is less necessity for the exercise of discipline.

Russia takes the initiative, and the subject was betore the British Parliament on ‘Thursday. But why not go a little further back, and, inssead ‘of considering the means of preveuting the barbaritics of war, lake up the question put before them since the succers of che Geneva Arbitras tion, and try to get rid of war itself, the prolific cause of those barbarities, or at feast to lessen the number of them, according to the example set by the Unis ted States and Great Britain 27, Lhe ab- eurdity involved in this whole business is enormous. Nations vie with each other in secking to invent the most destructive weapons —those which will killand wound most and fartberest off--and then vie with each other in seeking humane de- vices to ameliorate the sufferings of the wounded aud to pay respect to the dead ! ‘The vital principle of war is to infliet the greatest possible amoung of injury, de- rt.uction and death upon “the enemy” — and the problem now before those Euro- pean nations is bow to inflict this injary, death destruction in the most bumane manner !

But these things would change, barricrs would be broken down, for the white women now see that the negro is the coming man and that they have the control of the city and State governments. If he were not'a married man he could get the daughter of one of the best famil- ies in Vicksburg, and were he in the matrimonial market, hc would backle on a brace of revolversand meet the women’s brothers or fathers who would dare to in- terfere with his love affairs, or rather, at- tempt to prevent daughters and sisters from their choice in the selection of a. good husband (whom they were anxious to have) among the colored men.” These sentiments, says the Mobile Register, it will be borne in mind, were uttered by a colored legislator of Missis- sippi to an assemblage of negroes and white Rradiecals, not one of whom uttered a protest agains thém, bat al! of whom must be regatded as applauding them, since silehee gives consent. Good Advice. In the last issue of the sterling: old journal, the Western Sentinel, we find the following paragraph which is timely and and to the point. Let no democrat vote for a republican for even the insignificant office of the township constable : The leaders of the Republican party declare that the Republican party is pledg- ed to Civil Rights, that the party is con- structed on Civil Rights, and that to car- ry out and enforce its provision. Not- withstanding the pledges of the party their platform, little local Radicals coun~ ty candidates, in connties where their is a white majority delare they are opposed to the bill. They take issue againet their party to get votes. Recollect that it is the big leader and not the little followers who shape the policy of a party, and that every vote cast for for a Republican, for auy office, will Le construed by the leaders as an endorement of Civil Rights. White men, look at your child onthe morning of the 6th of August, before you have the heart to vote for any man who endorses the party that is attempting to blot out all distinctions of color, and de- clares that the children of both races musi be equalized. The policy of the Repub- can party as enunciated by the leaders is the cuforcement of Civil) Rights, and every Republican candidate, whatever may be his private views is a representive of the ideas and doctrines of his party.

Crawford and Heilig Agents Saligy July 1st 1274.—2mos, bury N.C. syne ita en e nsity in woman’s pre ~ nature, says a cynical editor, is a desire to know what is goiug on, and the next to manage the job. Ex-Minister Neleon says of Maximil- ian: “This tall and graceful scion of the house of Hapebarg bad not one single quality of mind or character that fitted him to govern the Mexican people, or to in so large an undertaking as that of the founding an empire on the ruins of the republic. Vain, vacillating and shal- low he was wholly destitute of common and never seriously considered, the duties and obligations of his exalted po- sition. When the life of the empire was suspended by a thread, he found time to chase butterflies, study heraldry, devise coats-of-arms for the newly fledged nobil- ity, and produce volumes of court etiquet- e.” REVIVAL ov THE IRow TRADE.—The indications of a revival in domestic iron trade continue to multiply. The Phila- delpbia Ledger says: “We learn that the Cambria Lron Com- pany, Johnstown, Pa., bave within the past week, started their rolling mill on “doable turn,” and the Bessemer ateel works ot the company, which have been running irregularly for some time past, would now be running on fulltime were it not for the scarcity of water. This is indeed encoraging. The revival could not begin in any one parsuit ofall our various industries that would give better eyidence of being general and lasting than that of iron.” The “newspaper train” left Jersey City Monday morning a week ago nearly half an hour behind time, and made it all up before reaching Trenton. This distance —a fraction less than fifty-seven miles— was run in fittysnine minutes, including a stoppage of over a minute at Newark and a moderation of speed at New Brunswick, There were some portions of the road Where the speed was more thana mile anda quarter a minute. Just beyond New Brunswick five miles were run in three and one-half minutes, which is at the rate of nearly eighty-six miles an hour. About a dozen passengers enjoyed this extraordinary ride. A HiGH CompLimunr—Says the Petersburg Index and Appeal : “Nothing could be finer than the manner in which the Conservative press of North Carolina have referred to the late Governor Caldwell The late chief executive was a bitter partizan. against whose course it was often necessary, for the papers to protest with great vigor; bu, now that death has overtaken him, these late enemies all say with a generousand magnani- mous candor thatthey have no criticism to make on his personal character, and that his death absolves him from all attack. This man ner of tribute tc a dead enemy proves of what gentlemanly composition the Conservative reas of the “Old North State” is made up. 88 generous enemies Would have made the most of a dead antagonist ; following the spirit of the savage Spanish preverb—*‘The Moor is dead—tbrust your laces into him.” ; Tae Mopern Porrit.—The Chicago Tribune publishes ajletter from Rev. G. C. Mutirns, which undertakes to show that the pulpit is losing much of its old- time power, and inquires into the causes, Mr. MULLINS attributes the waning influ- ences of the pulpit to the decided change from the kind of preaching we used to hear to that we listen to now-a-days. Formerly, he says, it was the duty of the minister of the gospel to preach the word, ure and simple, and now the preacher fas been metamoiphoeed into the moral essayist the religio~philosophical lecturer and a professional, who must send up a rocket and make a sensation once a week if he expect to succeed. A Convention whose purpose it shall be to give birth to a party with hard mon- ey for @ leading issue, has been called in Thinoie, The signers of the call are members of the Democratic State Com- mittee, of the Liberal Committee, and several prominent citizens of Chicago. The Convention will meet at Springfield on Sept. 1. Cured by Saying the Lord’s : yer. ee From the Rochester Union. —_—— Seven years ago Mrs. Jennette E. Rob- inson, in attempting to alight from a street car in Chicago was thrown violently from the platferm by the horses starting sud- denly, aud struck on her head. She was taken up insensible and carried to a neigh- boring dwelling to be cared for. In the course of a few hours she became consci-~ ous, bat found a peculiar tightness about her jaws, an inability to use her tongue, and complete paralysis of her left side.— About two years ago she came to Camps ville, N. Y., to live near her brother, a farmer in the town, and during that time her jaws were so completely closed that she was obliged to use liquid fuod entire~ ly ; her tongue so confined and useless that no one could understand her talk. For this reason she has always answered ques- tions by writing 0.1 a slate; and from the paralysia of the limbs she constantly used acrutch and cane te move about the house. There seemed to be no particular im- provement in her ease for the last three or our yeara; and having tried the best medica _in Chicago without mach benefit, had about concluded that she was fategto-live the long, helpless life of i. Butseyen years after the ‘a day, almost to a minute, she possession of health and vig- the means to regain it let her own story tell. She says: “On that day I was feeling mach worse than osual, hav- ing less strength to walk, was more weak and desponding ; but near night, after this day of sadness and gloom, the thought came to me suddenly, and peculiarly strong, that if I should pray I could get help from a bigher power than haman hands. I retired to an adjoining room, kneeled on one knee, not being able to bend the other, and commenced to say the Lord's Prayer, and in doing so, to my surprise, | found my jaws immediately opened, tongue unloosed, aud was audibly re the prayer. Frightened at the sound of my own voice, I arose, and crossing the room hurriedly, forgot my crutch and cane, but soon learned that they were of no use to me, for strength was fully restored to my limb, and I eould walk and run even as well as I ever eould.” Drinking Water. Dr. Hall is »pposed to the immoderate use of water fora drink. He says: | The longer one pute off dirnking water in thé morning, especially in summer, the lees willbe required daring the day; if much is drank during the forenoon the thirst often increases and a very unpleas- ant fulness is observed, in addition to a metallic taste in the mouth. The less water a man drinks the better for him, beyond a moderate amount. The more water aman drinks the more strength he has to expend in getting rid of it, for all the fluids taken into the system must be carried out—and as there is but litue nourishment in water, tea, coffee, beer and the like, more strength is expended in conveying them out of the system than they impart to it. [he more a man dinks the more he must perapire, either by lungs or through the skin ; the more he perspire the more carbon is taken from the system; bat thie carbon ia neceesary for natrition, hence the less a man is nourished the less strength he has. ‘The more liquids used the greater must be the amount of urination, but this de- tracta a proportional demand of albumen from the system, and it ie the albumen in the food that strengthens us. Drinking water largely diminishes the strength in two ways, and yet many are under the impression that the more water swallowed the more thoroughly is the system ‘‘wash- ed out.” Thus, the less we driuk at meals, the better for us. If the amount were limited to a single cup of bot tea or hot milk and water at each meal, and immeas- urable good would result to all. Many persons have fallen into the practice of drinking several glasses of cold water or several cups of hot tea at meals, ont of mere habit ; all such will be greatly bene- fitted by breaking it up at once; it may be well to drink a little at each meal, and, perhaps, it will be found that iu all cases it 18 better to take a single cup of hot tea at each meal than a glass of cold water, however pure. , ———_+ - ‘Moral courage” was printed in large letters as the caption of the following items and placed in a conspicuous place on the door of a systematic merchant in New York, for constant reference, and furnished by him for publication : Have the courage to discharge a debi while you have money in your pocket. Have the courage to do without that which you do not need, however much your eyes may covet it. Have the courage to speak to a friend in a seedy coat, even thoagh you are in company with a rich one, richly attired. Have the courage to speak your mind when it is necessary that-yon should do so, and hold your tongue when it is pru- dent that yeu should do ao. Have the courage to own that you are poor, and thus disarm poverty of its sting. Have the courage to tell a man why you will not lend him your money. Have the courage to cut the most agree- able acquaintance you have when you are convinced that he lacks prineiple—a frieud should bear with a friend’s infirmities but not with his vices. Have the eourage to tell a man why you refuse to credit him. Have courage to show your respect for honesty, in whatever guise it appears, and your contempt for dishonesty and duplic- ity, by whomsoever exhibited. Have the courage to wear your old clothes antil you can pay for new ones. Have the courage to prefer comfort and propriety to fashion in all things. Have the courage to acknowledge your ignorance, rather than to seek for knowl. edge under false pretences. Have the courage in providing an en- tertainment for your friends, not to exceed your means. : Have the courage to insure the proper- ty in your possession, and thereby pay your debts in full. JAS.

We claim and can show that it is the CHEAP- EsT, most beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated, and smoothly running of all the Famil F Bewile Machines. It is re- markable not cate for the range and variety of its sewing, but also for the variety and different kinds of texture which it will sew with equal facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen or cotton thread, fine or coarse, making the INTER- LOCKED-ELASTIC-sTITCH, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus, beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great strength and uniformity of stitch; and, in a moment, this willing and never-wearying instrument may be adjusted for fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, 01 une tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or almost any other work which delicate fingers have been known to perform. . And with its simplicity of construction; ease of operation; uniformity of PRECISE action at any speed; capacity for range and variety of work, fine or coarse—leaving all rivals behind it. We with pleasure refer the public to the Gold and Bronze Medals and Diplomas awarded to our Machines in America, Prussig, England, and recently in Austria at the Exposition in Vienna, where we were awarded five Medals, Merit, Pro- gress, and three for articles manufactured on our Machines. But it gives ur much greater pleaure, to present to the public the sworn returns of sale, (to which any one can have access) of the differ- ent Manufacturers of Machines, for the last four years, made to the receiver appointed by the owners of valuable Sewing Machine Patents, and which shews the precise number of machines sold by each Company. 1869 1870 Mier ei ig {anufacting Co., 86.781 127,883 191,2"¢ ; Wrecier : Wilson ae 78,856 83,28 128,526 174,088 Howe Machine Co., 45,000 75,156 84,010 145,000 Baker Sewin Srore 8 [Machlne oon 85,188 57,402 50,838 52.010 Domestic Sewing do 10,397 49,554 Weed few'ng do 19,687 85,202 89,655 42 444 Wilcox & Gibbs do 17,201 28,890 80,127 88,639 Wilson do 500 21,153 22,666 American Button-Hole Over- [seaming Machine Co., 7,792 14,573 20,121 18,980 Gold Medal d 8.912 18563 18 S97 Florence do 18,661 17,660 15,947 15 798 B.

Q THE GREAT REMEDY FOR CONSURIPTION which can be cured by a timely resort to this stand- ard preparation, as has been proved by the hundreds of testimonials received by the proprietors. It is acknowl- cdged by many prominent physicians to be the most rcliable preparation ever in- troduced for the relief and cure of all Lung complaints, and is offered to the public, sanctioned by the experience of over forty years. When resorted to in season it sel- dom fails to effect a speedy cure in the most severe cases of Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough, Influenza, Asthma, Colds, Sore Throat, Pains or Sore- ness in the Chest and Side, Liver Complaint, Bleeding at the Lungs, &c. Wistar’s Balsam does not dry up a Cough, and leave the cause behind, as is the case with most preparations, but it loosens and cleanses the lungs, and allays irritation, thus removing the cause of the complaint.

Walker’s California Vin- egar Bitters are a purcly Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of tke Sicrra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. ‘The question is almost daily asked. ‘‘ What is the cause of the unparalleled suecess of VineGaR Brr- TERS?” Qur answer is, that they remove the cause of discase, and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great bidod purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vixkcar Birrers in the sick of every disease man is heir to. e are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver a Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases . The properties of Dr. WALKER’s VixEGAR BITTERS are Aperient, Lig sere Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. rateful ‘Thousands prociaiin \ i- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful In- Vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which aro so preva- lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Peart, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tribytaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea- sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is Do cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERs, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its duids with VINEGAR BitTErs. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Mead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste inthe Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, are the oflsprings of Dyspepsia. One botile will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise- ment. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Uloers, Erysipelas, Swelied Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sere Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis- eases, WALKER’s VINEGAR BITTERS have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. —Persons en- aged in Paints and Minerals, such as lumbers, Type-settors, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To against this, take a dose of WALKER's VIN- RGAR BITTERs occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pnstules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worus, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, pang in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No em of medicine, no vermifages, no an- thelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the tarn of life, these Tonie Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood i when- ever you find its impurities i 0, the skin in Pamplag Eruptions, Ss Sue: cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blggd pure, and the th of the system will follow. ‘ R. H. McDONALD & CO., and Stor of Washia concen Chariton Bien 'N ¥, ists and Dealers.

Nevermore from wind or tide, Wilt thou need to hide. Could the sightless, sunken ever, Clo ied beneath the soft gray hair ; Cocld the mute and stiffened lips, Still, ave, still the words would be, “Lot me hide myself in Thee.” —___—~<>>- —__. NOBILLITY. BY ALICE CARY, True worth is being, not seeming, Iu doing each day that goes by Some little good—nut in the dreaming Of great things tu du by and by, For whatever men say in kindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth, We get back our mete as we measure, _ We cannot do wrong and feel right, Nor can we give pain and get pleasure, For justice avenges each slight, The air for the wing of the sparrow, The bush for the robin and wren, But always the path that is narrow And straight for the children of men. Tis not in the pages of story The heart of its ills to beguile, hough he who makes courtship to glory Gives all that he hath for her smile. or when from the heights he has wou her, Alas ! it is only to prove That nothing’s so sacred as honor, And nothing’s so royal as love. We cannot make bargins for blisses, Nor catch them, like fishes in nets; nd sometimes the thing our life misses! Helps more than the thing which it gets. or good lieth not in pursuing, ‘or gaining of great or small, But just in the doing, and doin As we would be done by, is all. Through envy, through malice, through hat- ing Against the word early and late, No jot of our courage abating Oar part is to work and ‘to wait, And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth, For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortune ‘or birth. _——~-<—>e__-__ The Church. A pernicious though not unnataral idea which has sprung up in the charch is that its normal state is that of rest, of quiet, of self satisfied peace. I remember having had a conversation with a devotee in the Romish Church who laid great stress upon the fact that she never found rest till ahe entered upon a life of isolgted holiness. That was a strong argument against her religion. Excitement, not rest, is the normal state of the church, and essential to her progress. God does not educate or save the race by rest. Out of the clash and surgings of the nations hu- man progress isevoked. ‘There is a rest but it is the rest of stagnation. The brook is purest and brightest where it murmurs over pebbles and breaks iu wa- terfalls over rocks—at once giving and receiving life.

Oflate years however, there has been a change of opin- ion in this respect, and unmarried women not only rank as high in general estima-~ tion as their married sisters, Lut bid fair soon to surpass them. Nor is this to be wondered at. A very few years ago it was a rare sight to see a married woman dancing at any ball given in the London season, whereas now wives dance with greater pertinacity than their sisters or daughters, and balls are even given ex- pressly for married women. ‘The char- acter of the British matron has, in fact, completely changed; grave and decorous, she has become a hopping, skipping creature, delighting every one by her graee and activity, but well as physical, what she gains in en~ joyment, Inthe meantinie the gspinter is rapidly rising—scorning flirtation, she leaves vain pursuits to the wife and moth- er. ‘lhe Emperor of China has set a good example in the encourgement of epinters.

They then proceed to “denounce as criminal the excess of constitutional power exhibi- ted by the policy of President Grant's administration, in fostering enormities perpetuated in certain States of the Union, in a: bitrarily interfering with their local affairs, in sustaining their usurpations of aliens and irresponsible adventurers, who, by certain men, have been illegally in- vested with official authority, thereby depriving others of their contitutional rights ; oppressive lawa being enacted, burdensome taxation imposed, and an im- mense aud fictitious indebtedness created, resulting in the degradation of these States and the general impoverishment of their people.” be The Pittsburg Waterspout. _ Graphic Description of the Ter- rific Storm. A Pittsburg correspondent of the New York Tribune turnishes the following vivid deseription of the terrible storm which visited that vicinity on Sunday last, and of which we have already published some i very thrilling details : . ‘“‘ A description of the appalling storm, or waterspout, whichever it may be called, should not be out of the way, although it would be impossible to draw eyen a faint picture of the uwful original. At about | 6 30 o'clock on Sunday evening two great instead of being}! and appease them if they were in like! settled geveral hundred families, and on’ F.iday last another colony of forty En-' black clouds came up from opposite points of the compass, one to the southwest and one to the northeast. They rose slowly, like two awful demons. Their edges were rugged and black, flecked bere and there with fiery colors. A dozen little promontories jotted out here. and there, like the heads of hydra upon each, chang- ing shape and appearance every moment, assuming the appearance of bird, or beast, or monster ; occasionally extending far up across the intervening space, as though to reconnoiter the enemy, and then again receding. But all this time the two great giants, swathed in inky blackness and almost without outline, slowly approached each other. Suddenly a noise between a roar and a growl burst from each. There was no distinct detonation, like ordinary thunder, but a low, terrible aud contina- ous rumbling growl, causing the air to vibrate aud the very foundations of the earth to shake as though a terrible ugue had seized upon the everlasting hills. ‘‘ A fringe ot fire like the aurora bore~ alis began to run along the ragged edges, faint at first, but growivgin inteusity every moment, until it looked as though the two demons had put on an armor of fire. On they came, nearer and nearer, when sud~ denly a mighty bolt of blinding light leaped from the central head of the demon of the northeast, burned high up in the sky, and then fairly struck the opposing demon, A moment and a defeating crash divided the hot atmosphere and made the earth tremble palpably. But the demon of the southwest was not even stunned, bat paid back his assailant with a forked jave- lia of sulphurous flame. “ This was the opening of the grand battle. ‘Ihe long lines of flames that en~ veloped the combatants ceased to dance and flicker, and like the borealis gathered into tongues of silver aud blue fire, leaped forward simultaneously from both direc- tions, until the rapidly narrowing space between them seemed to be an ocean of fire. ‘Che demon clouds met directly over the city, and seemed to rock the earth to its uttermost foundations. For a few minates previons afew heavy drops of rain had been patteriug down, but when the two giants met ia tbcir death embrace it seemed as though a river had been un- chained in the heavens, and was falling bodily to the earth below. = For half an hour it did not rain. ‘Chere was no dis- tinguishible deops as the term is generals ly understood. It was the descent of a torrent, like a river leaping over a_preci- pice. In three minutes after the terrible waterspout bad burst more than one hun- dred human beings were swept away.— Down Madison avenue, Alleghany, came the flood in its most awtul destructiveness, sweeping away more than fifty dwelling houses, and causing the death of seventy persons in that immediate vicinity. At Wood’s run, on the Ohio, fifteen were swallowed up in the twinkling of an cye, and at Saw-mill run, on the south bank of the Monongahela, twenty-five more were suddenly engulfed. ‘I'he three rivers havo been full of the dead all day, while the waterways leading thereto have yielded up a harvest that sickens coroners and undertakers.” ro Our Duty Towads the South. [New York Herald.] The President seems to have had what _ the Scriptures call the “sense of quicken ing” in reference to Suuth Carvlina. We could not believe that the manifold ins famics heaped upon that State as “gov- ernment” could altogether be everlooked. | We find now that Judge Mackcy has had an interview with the President, a report of which is printed in a South Carolina newspaper. In the conversation as here reported Senator Robertson, having re- ferred to the course Judge Mackey has lately pursued in bringing criminals to justice, General Grant turned sharply to the latter and asked, “Why don’t you convict Moses?” ‘The Judge replied that he had not had an opportunity of having the robber Gevernor brought to justice. The President then remarked thathe bad heard that a judge had maintained that Moses could not be tried before impeachment, and denounced this proposition that a President or a Gover. nor is above the law as monstrous. He -scemed much annoyed at the condition of affairsin South Carolina, and reproached | Judge Mackey, for the reason that “ever 5 ’ y | Republican” is responsible for the villany existing there. He emphatically declar- ed that there must be a true reform this fall or the Republican party would at once repudiate the so-called Republicans of South Carolina. He also denounced the conduct of Moses in calling out the muilitia to defy a process of the Court, and inquired as to what posse the Court could raise to enforce its warrants. He was in- formed that there were enongh honest men of sufficient courage to be found to arrest any miscreant. President Grant then affirmed that the Federal troops in South Caroliva were ‘not there to enforce the collection of exhorbitant taxes,’ and that he wished this to be anderstood. We are glad to see that the President shows interest enough in a State so sore- ly harassed as South Carolina as to ex- press even the moderate opinions here re- ported. We observe a tendency in the minds of Southera men like Lamar and Southern jouruals like the Richmond Dis- patch to encourage this disposition on the part of the President by suggestions that they will support him for a third term as refuge aguinst the criminals ambition of the colored men and their unscrupulous ajjies. Atthe same time the Southern people will have to show unusual mag- nanimity before they ean scpport Grants ‘Phe President and his party are alone to blame not only for what we see inthe Carolinas but for what we sec in Lonis- inana, Alabama aud other Southern States. A Card. I have just seen a political cireular, issued by Col. W. F. Henderson, in which th.re is a letter from myself and others. I feel that the publication of that letter that no explanation that I can aire will fylly ex- onerate me from wrong in having signed it, but I prepore simply to give'the fuets. While Col. Henderson was Assessor of Internal Revenue I was & manufacturer of tobacco, and I was never, in an official capa- city treated by him uukindly. During the time I had a revenue difficulty in South Carolina he manifested every. disposition to aid me in getting cut of it. hen his office was abolished he asked me to sign a recoin- mendation for another position in the Gov- ernment, stating that the Department knew how he had discharged his duties with the Government. but he wished to satisfy them that he had done it acceptably. with the people. Feeling that I could eapscientions- ly sign such a recotitiendation. and ft would only be used at the Department to aid him in getting an office that would eith- er be given to him or some other Republican, I signed it without reading it. In thus dur- ing I know I committed an error, as I would not have signed it had I read it. I would to-day certify that I thought he dis- chared the duties of his office acceptably to the people. Aud I would further state that if he even engaged in auy schewe or collus- ion to defraud the Government I did not know it, and had no reasun to believe that he did. character and his worthiness tu fill any of- fice that he might ask of the Government, I could not and would endorse. for I would not iu that respect be his accuser or his de- fender. Iwill only add that Col.

Rutherford College is located in the western part of N, C., one mile from Icard Station, on the direct road from Icard to Lenoir, equidis- tant from Morganton, Lenior, and Hickory Tavern. From the above statement, any one who is acquainted with different portions of North Carolina, wiil perceive that Rutherford College is situated in a section as favorable as any other college in the State. The vicinity is daily receiving the cooling mountain breezes, and the inhabitants breathe nothing but pure salubrious air. The college is situated in Ex- celsior, a flourishing village, which is free from many of great evils which generally attend our institutions of learning, especially those in towns. The inhabitants of Excelsior, are not inflict- ed with the malaria, said to rise from fresh graves, while the bodies interred are decaying ; for, with the exception of one infant, no one has been buried in the village grave-yard for over two years: and during the past year, we have heard of only three deaths nearer than ten miles. Chills are not known by their “feel” to any only those who have been off to other portions of the country. By an act of the Legislature of N. C., no alcohlic liquor is allowed to be sold pear the college ; nor is any one allowed to give intoxi- cating drink to a student, under penalty of the law. Becoming influenced with drinks of any kind, is an ‘offense punished by expulsion from the school. No one need fear, that if his son or ward be sent lrere, he will spend his money for drinks, and waste his time lying senseless under the influeuce of them. The school is governed by Rev. R. L. Aber- nethy M. A. its tirat and only President. His manner of governing, is not inferior to that of any other. The first thing he teaches his stu- dents, is that he loves them all. The greatest lesson he teaches, is, that all who die without a regeneration of heart, will be eternally lost. He tries to have all college rules and rules of politeness obeyed from a sense of duty and for the interest of the students, and not through a fear of punishment. The two sexes are kept separate by the most rigid rules. except during recitations and pub- lic services. The report circulated by some one, in and around lisbury, that offices on the hills around Rutherford College, are occu- pied by thecdifferent sexes without any imme- diate control, is an infamous falsehood, and the one who fabricated it, cannot tell the same, and have a pleasant night’s sleep, unless “his con- science isseared as with a hot iron,” . The instruction given by the faculty is not inferior to that given in any other college. Students are not refused instruction at any time, when the Prof. are not otherwise engaged for the interest of the school and students, The faculty'is composed of kind social gentlemen, just such as it requires to educate those who may be placed under their care. Instruction is freely given on any subject without respect to ce or political whims. The report that political meetings are held here, is also un- true. The spiritual wellfare of no student is neg- Jected. Every one is reguired to attend Sun- But as to the encomiums upun his | day School, and one gonpe! sermon every Sun- day. Minister of any denomination, except Roman Catholic, are invited to preach in col- lege chapel.) Every thing is conducted without respect to denominations or creeds, as far as the Protestant churches are concerned. The aim is, tojindoctrinate all in the principles es- sential to salvation, and let them join whatever christain church they may choose. No thco- logical controversics are tolerated which in- volve creerts. There are three Literary Societies connected with the institution, none of which are allowed to discuss a political question. In short, Rutherford College is second to none, which a youug man can attend, and re- ceive cla@ical ‘instruction duriug five months, for the sum of $70. Excelsior and the surrounding vicinity, are as much noted for morality as for healthfulness. No one need entertain the absurd idea, that be- case it is situated in the mountain region, its inhabitants are savage, knowing nothing about social and mental cult: — of pt Sox FI Favorable irdticinen ate ‘officed: to “in who may desire to purehase and ‘improve lots.

CABRRIHER. ——_—__+4m-— - —_ LAFITTE, THE PIRATE: An Interesting Chapter in American History—‘The Fute of the Pirate Chief. The following interesting sketch is by “Law- rence Leslie,” in the Chicago Inter- Ocean. From the days of Morgan, the King of the Buccaneers, to their final destruction by the navy of the United States, hardly fifty years ago, the Caribbean Sea and the surrounding waters was the principal theater upon which the pirates pursued their vocation. At one time it fairly swarmed with rakish crafts, man- ned by desperate outlaws, and flying the somber flag, borne only for booty and blood. These yessels scoured the bays, the inlets, and the open sea, and very nearly swept all legitimate commerce from that quarter of theocean. For a time they had almost undisputed possession of these watery highways; but in the latter part of the eighteenth century they sensibly de clined, and with the execution of Gibbs at New York, some forty years ago, and the dis- persion of Lafitte’s band, American piracy be- came practically extinct. Jean Lafitte, the ‘Pirate of the Gulf,” as he was usually called, was a Frenchman by birth, early enlisted in the French navy, and soon fell into the hands of the English, by whom he was ernelly treated, kept a long time in prison and only liberated when brought by confinement and torture to the very boarders of the grave. He thus acquired a hatred of the English, which he took occasion to gratify on the ocea- sion of the memorable attack on New Orleans. Of his early life more than the above is not known. That he was wild, restless, and dar- ing ; cold unscrupulous, and cruel, may well be imagined. The first positive glimpse we get of his muture life is at the sland oe Grand Terre or Barataria, an undulating piece of land five or six miles long, some sixty miles west of the delta of the Mississppi. Here in a good harbor, in a strong natural position, made stronger by forts and batteries well armed and manned, Jean Lafitte, with 600 or 800 men and eight or ten vessels, established in headquarters about the year 1807. From this stronghold his cruisers went forth, sometimes under one flag and sometimes under another, plundering the rich merchantmen which were traversing the Gulf on their way to a profitable market. But Lafitte repelled the appellation of pirate. He claimed to be only a “privateer.” Spain had become involved in war with the South Ameri- can colonies, and the later were sending out privateers to prey upon Spanish commerce. rom the Government of Cartagena Lafitte ob- tained a commission, and entered upon a career of plunder, little caring what flag his victims bore so they covered a rich cargo. Spanish, French, English, and American were all the same to him, and he soon became a terror to all honest navigators. It is estimgted that 400 richly-laden ships were captured “by him and his lientenants, their cargoes being marketed in New Orleans, into which port they were smug- led. . Finally, in 1813. the authorities of Louisiana, weary of such lawlessness carried on so near their borders, issued a proclamation through Governor Claiborne, dated New Orleans, March 12, 1813, rectting the numerous acts of piracy andsmuggling with which the occupants of Barataria were charged, and ordered them to disperse. The proclamation was disregarded, and soon after the Governor offered a reward of $5,000 for Lafitte’s head. This was shortly followed by a counter proclamation from the pirate. promising a reward of $50,000 to any one who would deliver Governor Claiborn into his hands. Mattres were in this condition when, late in 1714, the English resolved to attack New Or- leans. But the difficulties in ascending the Mississppi were numerous, and they ‘finally re- solved to seek a passage through Barataria and its bayous ; and considering our relation be- tween the authorities of New Orleans and the piratical crew at the point, they were confident of attaching Lafitte to theirlinterest. Thus, on the 30th of August, 1814, Captain Locker, of the British ship Sophie, sailed on that misson. The Baratarian chief then had 1.100 men un- der his command and thirteen armed vessels. Chaptain Lockyer was permitted to land, and had a private interview with the pirate, at which he promised him, as a reward for his co- operation, $50,000 in coin, acommission in His Majesty’s navy and a free pardon for himself and followers. Lafitte requested ten days for consideration, pretending a desire to consult some of his associates who were then absent. As before intimated, Lafitte hated the Eng- lish on account of their cruelty to him in early life. His interest, too, was with the Americans. New Orleans was his best market for stolen goods, and it was important that he should conciliate the American Government. There- fore he instantly departed for New Orleans, presented himself before Governor Claiborne in disguise, laid before him the dispatches from Captain Lockyer, and others from Lafitte, pardoned. At the time of his arrival an expedition was fitting out to drive the pirates from their strong- hold, and asked that it be delayed. Claiborne laid the letters before his council, but the would not belieye them genuine, and the ex ped- ition was ordered tosail. Sorely disappointed, Lafitte returned, but before he reached his quarters his forts had been attacked, his fleet sunk or captured, and his men scattered. The spoil that fell into the hands of the Americans amounted to $500,000. It was now too late to accept the flattering overtures from the English, even if he was so inclined; and his only salvation was in the American alliance. He again wrote to Clai- borne, saying that he and his command were “willing to enroll themselves against the enemy.” General Jackson was consulted, and wasstronglyin favor of thescheme. Accordingly Governor Claiborne issued a proclamation, concluding as follows : “I therefore do hereby invite them (the Bar- atarians) to join the standard of the United States, and am authorized to say that should "rt their conduct in the field merit the approba- tion of the Major Gencral that the officer will NO. 42.---WHOLE unite with the Governor in a request to the President of the United: States to extend to each individual so marching and so acting » free and full pardon.” Lafitte and a hundred or so of -his followers embraced these conditions; and more than half that number came out of prison to enroll them- selves in Jackson’s army. and their services and conduct reeeived the highest praise. An official account of the battle says: “Thus early on th orning of Jan. 8, 1815, rocket sent up by the British forces announced that the action was about to begin. . The Americans had breastwork of cotton bales, which extended from the levee to the woods back of Redrignez plantation, and about 8 o’clock in the morning the cannon of the British forces were brought to bear upon it, but without effect. Gencral Carrol, with his flat-boat drilled Ten- nesseeans, went to work like men accustomed to such scenes. General Coffee had a position with ees under ae nee the woods, ie very su in In e of the ry ee attacks ONO Wi Major Pluche covered th yea Wi glory. Lafitte and his followers had comm of two guns near the edge of the river, and the precision and cooluess of his every: movement won for him the ap n of ali.” Thirty days after the battle the President in- sued his proclamation of amnesty, in which he said: “Among the evils produced by the wars which, with little intermission, have afflicted Europe and extended their rayages into other parts of the globe, for a period exceeding twen- ty years, the dispersion of a considerable por- tion of the inhabitants of different countries, in sorrow and want, has not been the least inju- rious to human happiness nor the least severe in the trials of human virtue. It had been long ascertained that maay foreigners, flying from the dangers of their own homes, and that some of our own citizens, forgetful of their duty, have co-operated in forming an establishment on the island of Barataria, near the mouth of the Mississppi, for the purpose of clandestine and lawless trade.” The President then goes on to recite the heroic conuuct of the outlaws at New Orleans, and closes with a grant of full amnes- ty for all past offences. Soon, after, the pirate chief visited Washing- ton, and was received with much distinction by the President and other officials. Fora time he seemed to enjoy the flatteries of govern- ment officials, but eventually grew restless, went to Baltimore, purchased a veseel,fcalled for a volunteer crew, obtained a commission from one of the agents of the South American repub- lics, and sailed for the Gulf. Of his operations there the following from a report of the Goy- ernor of Louisiana will give akey. The writer Aye “The breaking up of these freebooters is of the utmost importance to the United Btates, for it is ascertained that vessels clearing from New Oorleans with passengers, have been cap- tured, everg soul on board murdered, and the identical cargoes brought to New Orleans and sold by the pirates agents.” A rendezvous being indispensable, and not daring to return to Barataria, Lafitte fixed upon the present site of Galveston and hoisted his flag there in 1817. Very soon after the Collector of Customs at New Orleans wrote to the authorities of Washington as follows: “I deem it my duty to state thatthe most shameful violation of our revenue laws continue to be committed with impunity, by a motley mixture of free booters and smugglers at Gal- veston ; it being little less than the re-establish- ment of Lafitte’s Baratarian band somewhat more out of the reach of justice.” But strange to say, the Government took no action, and the rover who had but lately been the President’s guest still scoured the sea for booty. His force increased until his navy consisted of thirteen armed vessels, manned by 1,000 men. The largest of his ships mounted fourteen heavy guns. In 1819 the Collector of New Orleans again wrote to the Government urging the breaking up of the band, and said: “On the part of these pirates we have to con- tend with, we behold an extended and organi- zed system of enterpise, of ingenuity, of inde- fatigability, and of audacity favored by a variety of local advantages, and supported always by force of arms.” In 1821 decisive action was then taken, and Lieutenant Kearney, with the Enterprise, ap- peared before Galveston, and demanded its immediate evacuation, There was no alterna- tive, and in two months the last of the pirates had fled, and organized American piracy be- came a thing of the past. Lafi te died in Yucatan four years after, and is buried in the little Indian village of Silan, about fifteen miles from Merida, the capital. THE LATE DISASTROUS FLOOD AT PIiTSBURG. Its Ravages— Loss of Life — Distressing Scenes — the Supposed Cause of the Flood. In addition to’ the accounts already published of the terrible disaster at Pitta burg, Pa., last week, equaling if not sur- passing the late destruction at Mill River, the following particulars of the affair will be found of interest : Accoun.s of the terrible flood which has deluged nearly all the sul urban sections of Pittsburg as they come in show that the disaster was far greater than was at first supposed. It is now thought that the logs of life will reach fully two hun. dred persoue, and the loss of property be proportionately large. The extent of territory damaged is not lesa than from twenty to twenty-five miles in diameter, and how the main portion of the city of Pitteburg, lying as it does in the centre of this circle, eseaped further injury appears almost miraculour. ‘The prevailing theory is that the disaster was caused by some kind of waterspout. <A gentleman who watched the storm froma point a few miles down the river, where there was little rain, says that by the fit- ful flashes of lightening he coald see a huge, inky black, FUNNEL SHAPED CLOUD, which overhang-the city, the narrow end being lowest, while the dark part gave vent to almost continuous flashes of Jighit- ning. It is almost impossible fur any one not familiar with the geography of the locality to form an idea of thie disaster, or how it could possibly have occurred. ‘I'he main city of Pittsburg, as it rises gradu- ally from a point formed by the junction of two rivers, has many gulches in certain localities, which under a Hood of this de-~ scription are liable to do great damage, fand the park known as Hill region is fre- quently liable to snffer from local inunda tion. ‘The damage here, however, is at this time light, compared with other lo- calities strictly surburban. ° The north bank of the Alleghany, upon ¢ Wav OR Ane 10, 4a C8, yy vy NO. 1931 iOt uper portion of the city is situated, has, according to all accounts!

The Raleigh Sentinel gives the fullowing veasonos why the people should not vote for the eandidates of the negro party on to-day. Because Ist. The Republican party is the party of fraud aud corruption in bigh places. Jt was a Republican Legislature that $a 1868 voted millioas of corrupt debt upon the already overtaxed people of North Caro- Vina, and many of the Republican members of that body are now asking the people to » trust thein again, and the more effectually to deceive the people, now raise the cry of hon- esty in office, reform, retrenchment, acts ad pauseam, just as the pickpucket is the fure- most and loudest to ery stop thief, when he himself has the watch in bis pocket. Because 2nd. All their leaders are broken down political hacks who have sucked the official teat so long that they, will starve if that panacea of all Radical ills is taken from them. And Because 3rd. If they are elected our peo- ple will find fastened upon them that most gafamous of all the creations of the deyil, the eivil rights bill, That bill that forces the magro toa social level with the white man— furces the children of the poor white man who is unable to send his darling to a pay eehvol, to sit in the class on the same bench with the little dirty, black monkeys that a fanatical party, for its own corrupt party pur- poses, has forced up to the leyel of the white man, whose people have carried light and wer and knowledge into every corner of the world. We say nothing about the polit- deal rights of the African, but in the naine of all that is holy in our traditions of the past, jet va pot be instrumental in bringing the great ein of sucial rights upon our race.— The negro has bad undisputed possession of @ mighty continent since the creation of the world, and that continent, rich and teeming as ja its soil, blessed as it is in climate, vein- ed by mighty rivers, *' arteries of trade, " stands to day as it stood in the beginning, fababited only by the savage and the wild - ‘Phe African had as his neighbor, the Egyptian, with all their learning, but ¢hay lived on in iggorance, Arabia illumed the world with the glare uf scientific light, and Afriea remained ig impenetrable dark- ‘peas. Other aations of the world advanced im knowledge, learnt the use of the metals tv build buouses, to write, wo print. to paint, the use of the mariner’s compass and all that make mao civilized, and the African still re- mained in darkness, still went vaked, slept in hollow treas, brought down his game with #B arrow poiuted with a fish bone, and look- ad upon the white sails of the white man, Who caeasionally visited hjs coasts, as the “eveations of anuther world. And still we are guld that this wool)y headed blot upon the family of nations, is the equal of the white joan, the equal of the people whose ancestors waded to their waists to meet the invading Bowans, and ever sinee that day wherever there has been neerd of high. hervic daring, ag wf hard. nogelfish brain labor, there has heen seen the “blue-eyed Saxon with his yellow bair.” 7 And widl such as James H.

But it has, in our opinion, taken the wrong view of the whole matter. Beecher-igm is a curse and must continue cO prove so if sustained. It derives but little, if any, support from the bible and cannot, there- fore, be defended as essential or as tending to the salvation of men. But the fact is, as the Sun remarks, genuine religion is not so much a matter of feeling as of principle. It begins in right thinking, develops itself in right acting, and ends in a condition of love to Gop and good will toward men. The attempt to-violate this order and to jump at once into the enjoy- ments of results which are only to be reached by long and patient labor, is a mistake which causes most of the discredit into which religion and its dyocates have fallen with the world at large, The transient excitement produced by singing, praying, and impassioned exhorting which multitudes esteem the chief element of religious experience, is found, in practice, to be of 80 Jittle avail in making men honest and good, that it has ceased to command the re spect of sensible people, and the real article of which it ia a counterfels comes ww De Gespised along with it, 2 Whatever gushing orators and sensational preachers may say to theconirary, it isno more possible. in the ordinary course of things, to pass directly from a state of sinfulness into a truly religious state than it is for a confirmed in- valid to be at once restored to health. There have, it is true, been cases of miraculous spirit- ual as of miraculous corporeal healing, but they do not occur often. The only means that can be relied on, a8 a rule, to effect a radical and permanent cure requires time for its applica- tion. The spiritual teacher who promises in- stant salvation to his followera is as much ofa quack as the self-styled physician who adver- tises to cure diseases by simply giving his pill, without change of diet or interference with business. Both may succeed in giving tempo- rary relief; but both in the end are sure to leave their patients worse off than they found them. In religion, as in the management of bocily health, the one great point to be steadily kept in view is abstinence from sin. Every physician of experience knows that if men would only re- frain from improper eating, drinking, and ex- posure, nine-tenths of the sickness of the world would immediately cease, and the remaining tenth would not be slow in passing away like- wise, The science of medicine is every day be- coming less one of drug-giving and more one of regimen. To find out the cause of sicknessand put a stop to it, is seen to be a much more sensi- ble proceeding than to let the cause go on work- ing, and only try to remedy its effects. When the teachers of religion come to the same con- clusion, they will have reason to expect success in their efforts to reform the world, and not before. Christianity, the prevailing religion of this country, is, as we all know, based upon Judaism. Its Founder emphatically declared that he did not come to abrogate the Jewish law, but to ex- plain and amplify it. The basis of that law is the Ten Commandments, which both Jew and Christian accept as still binding, and which, indeed, are an integral portion of every religion inthe world. Of these Ten Commandments, all but one point out sins which are not to be com- mitted, without saying anything of echurch- going, revivals, prayer meetings, or hearing sermons. We are commanded not to worship other than the one true Gop, not to take His name in vain, not to labor on the Sabbath day, not to steal, nor tell lies, nor murder, nor com- mit adultery, and. finally, not to cherish even the desire of doing such things. It requires no argument to show that if men would only faith- fully follow these few simple precepts, there would be an end of sin, and earth would become like heaven. The difficulty 1s, that simple as these laws appear to be, they are amazingly hard to obey in practical life, and all sorts of expedients have been invented to get around them. In devising these expedients none have been more zealous than the ministers of religion themselves. One fiction, which they have popularized, is that it is impossible to obey the Commandments, and that, therefore, obedience is not necessary. As if Gop would trifle with his creatures by en- joiaing upon them an impossibility! Another fiction is that membership in ecclesiastical or- ganizations is a protection against the conse- quences of disobedience — a kind of insurance policy, as it were, against hell fire. Another is, that no matter what sins we commit, JEsus CuyRyst has suffered our punishment for us, and therefore we shall escape. ‘I'o come fairly and squarely out with the scriptural doctrine. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die,” is the last thing that seems to be thonght of. Of course, it has been found that none of these devices are successful in producing that peace and joy and contentment which are the fruits of truly religious life, and further measures have had tu be resorted to to sup- ply the deficiency. To continue the parallel of the body and the sou], the glow of health being wanting, its absence has been sup- ee by stimulants ; just as the glutton takes randy to relieve his indigestion, or as opi- um is adininistered to destroy the sense of pain. Itis not-too much to say, that nine- tenths of the existing machinery of religion has had ita origin in the effort tu: produce a semblatece of genuine fervor, in breasts which are so filled with natural bad passions that there is nu room for heavenly affections. The corporal titillation «f exquisite music and architecture, the thrill of oratory, and the rousing fervor of cougregational singing are made to do duty Talo. uobler aud higher earnestness that results from a life of striot obedieace to the law of Gop. And the con- sequence is that, with millions, religion, as we have said, has come to be regarded as an affair of the emotions alove, without any becessary couuection witb honesty and vire tue. It is seen that there is no incompati- bility between the most fervid religious ex- perience ands! horough scoundrelism in every day life. Emiuent chureh-going Christians and eloquent talkers about their love to Je- sus, their sweet out-pourjngs of soul and their ecstatic evnjoyment of heavenly contem- plation, are found to be none the less cor- rapt politicians, dishonest merchants, tricky lawyers. and bad husbands, fathers, and cit- izeos generally. If abstineace froin sin. in obedience to the divine laws, were made, as it ought to be. the chief and prowinent. ele- went of religious life, al} this would be a- voided. If the world saw that the protesgurs and winisters of religion were carefyl yet to Nie, defrand. indulge in revenge and adaltery nor jo avy way to wrong their fellow men, they would respect thein accordingly, and exciting contempt, as it now too often does, would lead to a desive to share in its enjoy- ment, a : their display of religious emution, instead of be : 4 4 “Richmond. (Va.) Whig, of the. 30th, July; pablishes a eommependent, begioning as follows: Op Fort, McDoweEtt County, N. C., July 25, 1874.--There would be so lits tle to amuse or iuterest your readers in an account of our trip from Richmond to Salisbury, that I shall begin my jatuge from that place which, seen under the fit- fal fickering glare of the gas-lamps (!) at 4 o’clock in the morning, presents any~ thing bat an inviting appearance. It is said to be the vilest towo in the State, bat as we have to remain there several hours on our return, I prudently suppress my opinion of its ple, which is based rinetpall upon the appearance and man- pers swt ball dozen of its railroad officials, Suffice it to say, that I was glad enough to jamp aboard the ‘Pull- man palace cars:of the Western North Carolina railroad and flee away as a dove into the mountains. The Richmond Whig did a ‘fade thing when it admitted into its columns this correspondence. Every citizen of our town will instinctively regard this action with indignation. Can the Whig defend it, or is it indifferent to it ? Vileness in any degree applied to an indiyidaal, or to a whole community, is a grave word to use; but when needlessly and causelessly applied through the col- umns ofa public newspaper, as above, on the loose evidence of ‘It is said,” &c., it is as astonishing as it is unpardonable. Does the Richmond Whig offer such things for the gratification and pleasure of ita readers? Do the people of Rich-~ mond and Virginia regard North Carolina towns as vile, and Salisbury as the vilest ? Salisbury will compare favorably with any town jn North Carolina, or Virginia, of the same population, in point of morals, intelligence, honesty, or wealth ; ber citi~ zens are as Jiberal and as hospitable. We speak what we know, and we defy the correspondent or the Whig to show to the contrary. The Contributionsto the Orphan Asylum, in July, 1874. IN CAST.

To him it should be the centre of the uni- verse, or, in other words, the place around which all his thoughts aud affections centre. IT would say to each one, love and cherish your home with your whole heart. You cannot prize it too highly. You can- -not strive too hard to make it pleasant and attractive for your loved ones. Re- member you cannot always keep them with you. ‘The sad hour of parting must come. One by one they will be taken from you ; and then saddened indeed will be your life, if you are to be haunted by the memory of litle deeds left undone, which, had they been done, would have added much to thé comfort and happiness of those who can now be with you no more ; but blessed will be your life if you can say, “I have done what I could to make them happy.” The exercise of thoughtfulness and care will make home an earthly para- dise. While you are enjoying the light and love of a pleasant, cheerful home, do not forget the many all around you who have been deprived of that light and love. The cold dark grave holds their dear ones, and the placcs they once called home are now occupied by strangers. Oh, do not refuse to open your hearts ,and homes to them! Remember they ‘are “God’s little ones; and has He not , said, “Whosoever shall give to drink un- | to one of these little oues a cup of cold ‘water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in uo wise lose his reward?’ And, also, “In as ‘much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye hav» done it unto me.” Do not, by refusing the love and sym- pathy which will cost grou so little, but which will be above price to them, add still more to their cup of bitterness, which is even how filled to overflowing, You have not kuown, as yet, the deep janguich of the heart of oue who as he stands by the newly-made graves of those who were dearer to him than all beside realizes the solemn fact that in all the world around him there is now no place j to which he can go and say “here is my home.” But this is a world of constant change, and “thou knowest not what a day may bring forth., You who are to- day fceling secure amid the influences of home may be the homeless wanderers of to-morrow. ‘Then be kind to the bomes less ones, for “with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again.” ee Bismarck’s daughter, it is said, fell in love with a young Catholic lieutenant, and wheu Bismarck proposed to elevate him, so as to make marriage with the prewier’s daughter equal. the young lover pleaded his religion as a perpetual bar to the marriage, whereupon the maiden pro- posed to adjure Protcstautiem, so much did she love him.

This increase of vital power, so necessary to meet the extraorii- nary drafts which an inclement season makes upon the system and the ‘constitution, can be readily acquired by taking from two to ‘three doses of Hostetter’s Bitters daily during che winter and Spring months. The nature of this celebrated restorative is well known-to the pub- lic.

To the combination of these excellent ingredients, in proportions sui- table to the exigencies of enfeebled, langyid and diseased systems, the great tonic-alterative owes its efficiency as a preventive and curative.

I loathed every kiud of fuod, and even water tasted to me like copperas, I could get no refreshing sleep either by night or by day; the medicine prescribed for me by physiciaus gave me no relief, and I was fast sinking into the grave. One day alady persuaded ine to pur chase a box of Bellamy’s Pills. I tvok three at twelye o’clock noon, and three at night: After taking the two doses I felt better, and that night, for the first time 1n three months, slept for fully eight hours. The next morning I felt much better, and took three more pills. As ten o'clock approached I prepared myself for my daily chill, but to my intense joy my unwelcome visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o'clock, I took three more pills, and at nightthree more. The next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at seven o'clock, feeling quite well; and although still very week, yet I was able tu en- joy my food, and whether eating or drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me. In about seven daye’ time I was strong enough to walk four miles, and felt perfectly cured. Ten years have elapsed since then, and I have never had another attack of Chills and Fever. “Pp.

A brutal murder was committed at Marlville, Bladen Co., last Saturday, by a noegro, named Abrahum Jones, his vic~ tim being a Mr. S. W. Twiggs. The uo- gro was in the employ of Mr. ‘I'wiggs and a dispute arose about a settlement, when the negre stabbed Mr. ‘I'wiggs several times in the breast and under the left loin. Mr. Twiggs lived but about ten minutes. The negro made his escape, but every ef- fort, as we learn from the Wilmington Star, will be made to arrest him. Fruit Jrees.—Mesers.

Under the superior management of Mr. Sheets, this same land has been made to yield from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, and to produce other crops accordingly. Mr. Elliott, no doubt, imagined that he could make a living easier in the West, made no effort to improve his land here, and he was growing poor. Mr. Sheets, no doubt, believing in Old North Caroli- ua, and feeling satisfied that it is the best for her people tu remain within her bor-~ ders, went to work improving his lands This is the dif- Let North Carolinians remain at home and improve theirlands: They can find no better homes in the West, or elsewhere.

The Hon. W. M. Robbins and Dr. Cook spoke here on last Friday, Robbins fairly making the fur fly. ‘The same spoke at night. On Saturday, Robbine, Cook, Dobson and the county candidates spoke at Millers a few miles in the country. Sat- urday Gen. Leach and others spoke here. On Monday Hon. W. A. Smith and sev- eral of the candidates diseussed matters at the Court-house ; speaking is still in pro- gress, this ‘Tuesday, in the country.— Maj. Smith discussed consolidation and Rail Road matters generally. He thought that the coming Legislature should pro- vide for the payment of the accrued inter- est on the construction bonds, without sell- ing the property ; and that it should make some arrangements for the completion of ihe Western NC RR. Ue stated a fact that it is not generally known, that is, that about a million dollars worth of the Con- struction bonds of the N C R R had been lost, and that there were now but about seventeen hundred thouand of these origi- nal bonds on which interest is to be paid. He thought the State had better repudiate than attempt to pay the public debt by selling her Railroad stocks and fixing un- bearable burdens of taxation upon her people. We urged the same views five years ago, aud we still agree with Maj. Smith in the main, but the Legislature has uo power to repudiate. We believe a couveation of the people would have, aud such an act by it would uever be call- ed in qnestion. A convention of the peo- ple of a sovereign State is the higbest power known to our form of government, and it may sit up and tear down at Libi» tum, with no superior power to question the right. Maj. Smith’s speech was very fair on paper, and we regret that we were not prepared to take notes that we might further annalyze it. ——_ +.» THe STEPHEN A. Doucias Estate | IN CuicaGo.—'The great law suit long ;pending between the heirs of the late | United States Senator Stephen A Doug- las and the executor of his cstate, was decided in Chicago on Monday, by Judge Williams, in favor of the heirs. This decision gives the heirs, Robert and Ste- phen, about a quarter of a million of dol- lars. It was wade under the following circumstances: When Mr. Douglas died | he lett Dr. P. Rhodes, of Cleveland, as the executor of his property and real e¢s~ tate in south Chicago. When it was off- ered for sale Rhodes bas agreed with oue Dobbins that if he boughy in all the prop~ erty he would take one-third off his hands. This was done, and the speculators made ap immense sum from their investments. The suit was brought to recover, on the ground that an executor cannot. be inter- ested, directly or indirectly, in the pur- chase of property at his own gale, and the judge so decided. But one-half of the value of the property was decreed to the /eluldren; the other portion would have | gone to the widow but she was barred, having allowed too long a time to elapse before aseerting ber rights. ee A touchingly beautiful farewell was Dr. Todd’s last message to hia church, sent, on a Sabbath evening: ‘Tell them that Ihave an unwavering faith in Curist and his salvation, and that I am = waiting and hoping for light from the eternal world. I want to see that light and think I shall, “Though T walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [ will fear no evil.’ and 30 I etand at the gate like a litile child, waiting fur itto open to give me a glimpse of the glory.” : —_—~<>___—_——_ Mount VERNOy, N.

It atones, ina degree, for our lack of those superior advantages of education and refinement, which States, older and more favorably situated for commerce, have long enjuyed: Itessays to southe the wounds of the bitter quarrels of sections ; and, but for the fiendish cor:uption and tyr- tauny of the so-called general governinent, night to some extent even recoucile us to the loss of wealth and position through the dread doings of the demon of War.

But why is it, here in the South, with its financial poverty and political ruin—its Her- culaueuin of smothered griefs aud its Pom- peii of buried hopes—its rugged mauuersand its utter want of the amenities and comforts of life generally, the romantic feeling rises in us so stroagly, and binds us to the dear old laud with such indissoluble chains of the tenderest, the most heart-felt affection ? The answer to this question is full of the wisdom which books and institutions of learn ing never teach—for it comes not within their proviuce or their aim, and could far better be given by a Dauiel Boone, au Alexander Humboldt or a David Livingstone than by Lords Chesterfied, Broughata and Bacon.— To quote the language of that sweeet writer ou Nature’s beauty aud mystery, Robert Mudie :—“It is simply beeause that in @er- tain half-wild and partially cultivated places, mnan’s chief occupation aud converse are with nature « whereas, ia richer places, where there is more to tempt worldly ambition aud worldly eaterprise.

The Mont Cenis, 74 miles, is the only other very long tunnel in Europe. In this counfry, the Hoosac tunnel, five miles long, is the most remarkable, aud the only one of great extent that has been completed. ‘I'he Sutro tunnel in Nevada for opening up the Comstock lode, is to be four miles lung, with ramifications that @Will add considerable to that amount The Sierra Madre tunnel, begun this year, is. to be twelve miles long. The Erust-Auguet tunnel was driven at the rate of a mile a year, which is the most rapid progress yet made iu such work. Be in Earnest. The solemn charge of a distinguished man of letters to his aon, “Be in earnest,” should be applied to each Conservative heart in North Carolina at this crissia. Let us iruly be in earnest, for we have incentives to earnestness all around us. What if the Gothic tideof Civil Rights should welm us in styzian ruin? We must strive with all our might and man- hood, emboldened by the justice and no- bility of our cause, to save the State. It must not ever aguin fall under Radical sway, which ia the course of curses. We must, indeed, get firmer control. We must have seven out of eight Congress- men. We must have a pure and elevated Judiciary. We must have a strong Con servative Legislature. We must have good men in the county officers. To secure all these blessings we must be thoroughly in earnest, from now until the eveniug of the 6th of August.— Wil. mington Star. ‘Who,’ asks the Christain Union, ‘“Swas the founder of the American Sun- day-school! Have we no one to honor like Robert Raikes, who started the first en- glish school -In seventeen hundred eighty-one, A cross the fields in Gloucester town’? As the old rhyme goes, it was there “This glorious work it was begun. And is coming. coming, coming along.’ Yet Robert Raikes, while he lives in the memory of the English Sunday-school trienda, has nothing more than an insigs nificant marble «lab over bis grave in the very sceve of his labors. Had he lived vu this side, perhaps our young enthu- siasts, teachers and scholars, would have pul up a monument to him long since ; but who as it is? Why not remember this devoted Englishman in some sub- stantial way, and anite with the schools on the other side in recognizing a com. mom founder of the Sunday-school? ‘The glorious work begun by bim has eertainly ‘come along’ with us.” he Milton Chronicle says: On the 4th inst., Basil Mansfield, a desperado of horsethicf notoriety, went to the bouse of one Betsy Davis, in the Mountain Hill settlement, and celebrated the glorious 4th by giving Betsy an unmerciful whip- ping. She got out a writ for Mansfield, and while the officer was reading it to him he snatched the writ from the officer and tearing it up, made him “git up and git.” THe then went to the house of Bet- sy Davis and beat ber almost to death— indeed, it is thought she will not recover. Anotber writ was issued and given to the vfficer (named Slaughter) to exeeute. He summoned J. Howerton, Nat. Williame, Jobn Denny, J. Logan, R. A. Elliott, Jas. Martia and Samuel Earp to assist him. ‘hey found Mansfield at the house of Henry Smith—he was eating at the time, with a gua lying at his fees. ‘The officer roceeded to read the warraaot, and whea S got to the words “bring bim before me or sume other justice,” Mansfield reached for bis gan, whea an order to “‘fire” was given, and five balls perforated the des- ’s carcass.

Forney, one of the shrewdest and most experienced of living politicians in America, is scandalized at the political condition of the fairest portion of the South, and wants President Grant to “take the resposibility” of erashiug out Moses, Scott, Chamberlain, and ‘the whole plundering crew. In his paper, the Phil- adelphia Press of the 4th of July, he prints a remarkable leader on what is impera- tively needed to prevent the disruption and overthrow of the National Republican party. We quote: “}irst of all, and above al', the Repub- licans must find means to secure some thing like civilized governments to the fairest portion of the southern country. This is demanded, not aquestion of party, but of humanity. Itis as necessary to the blacks as to the whites; and there ought to be atatesmanship enough in the Administration to devise a plan for the removal of this growing sore in the body politic. Dresideot Grant has shown great political pluck on several occasions. With his vast prestige he has attempted some very bold thivgs in his personal adminis- tration. * * * What we suggest to the President is that a little of the same plack he shows for individuals should be shown in aid of suffering States like Soath Carolina and Louisiana. * * * * * * Itis enough, if neglected, to arouse sympathy iv every State of the Nation. ‘The people of the North cannot afford to see any portion of the people of the South white or black, oppressed for opinion’s sake, and if the Republicans fail to fiad a remedy for such outrages as have become common in the South, the Democrats will be called forth to redress and adjust the difficulty.” Coming from such a source, these are, indeed, significant words. And they bat. express what has come to be the universal public feeliug of the. North in regard to the Prostrate States. A Wonderful Oil Well. The ‘Titusville (Penn.) Herald, of July 23rd, thus describes a wonderful oil well that has just been opened : “The road leading to the Parker well from Petrolia is in moderately good con- dition, and soon after leaving Central Point the taveller observes the words ‘no smoking permitted here’ in conspicnous» places. After about two and a half miles ride tbe top of a hill is reached, where a eighty rods further on brings us in sight of the well, A dense fog or mist enve~ lopes the derrick, engine-house and tanks, while fully one thousand persous are there gazing on the wonder of Armstrong county. ‘I'be derrick has conspicuously laced upon it, in large letters, ‘Boss Well,’ and ‘Creswell City.’ ‘here are 250-barrel tanks, one of which is full. ‘Three dams. one below the other catch the drippings ; and the rivalet beyond, we are told, for ten miles a circuitous route to the Alleghany river, is covered with oil. There are two two-inch pipes connecied with the well, one off which is shut completely off, and out of the other flows a steady stream of oil with immense force. ‘There is no perceptible intermis- sion in the flow, and as it gushes into one of the twelve hundred barrel tanks, the foam and spray envelope the whole surround- ing atmosphere in a dense mist. “A trustworthy gauger iuformed us that he bad gauged the well three timcs since the stream was turued into the 1,200-barrels, tank, and he found it dving 1,750 barrels, and he estimated the leak- age at least to be fitty barrels per day. He further stated that in his opinion the well etarted off out of two two-inch pipes at the rate of 2,500 barrels per day. He also claimed that although this was al- most incredible he belicved that if the full stream was turned on now it would do at least 2,000 barrels. ‘The well is claimed to be the largest ever struck in the lower region. A farm- er walked up to us and offered to sell his adjoarning farm of 100 acres for $100,- 000, which ten days ago, for farming pur- poses, would not have brought $1,000. ‘The surveyors are at work laying out Creswell City.” JAS.

For Sale at this offie | | RELIEF | | ames | Land Deeds, Trustee ‘Dee . Dr. J. Walker’s California Vin- egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted'thercfrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, ‘What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VineGar Bit- Ters?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the paticnt re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. - Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of VixeGar Birrers in healing the _ sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver aud Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dr. WaLKEr’s Vixsecar Bitrers are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carmninative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. t Grateful Thousands proclaim Vix- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful In- vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person ean take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital orgaus wastcd beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, {llinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, tio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sca- sous of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. ‘There is no cathartic fur the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating tho secretions of tho liver, and gencrally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its Huids with VINEGAR Birrers. No epidemic can take bold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Tead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad ‘Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of tho lid neys, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengtby advertise- ment. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skiu, Sere Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis- cascs, WaLKER's VINEGAR BitTTERs have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Dlood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Litters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en- aged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER’S VIN- EGAR BITrers occasioually. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuucles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eycs, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are litcraljy dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. -Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No eae of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelminitics will free the system frum worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, ix young or old, marricd or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; ’ cleanse it when you find it obstructed and soem in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul ; ‘your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blagd pure, and the health of the system will follow. 1 KR. H. McDONALD & CO., Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California, and cor. of Washington and Chariton Sts., N. Y.

He had heard that saltpetre was good for stumps. Ac- cordingly, about a couple of months ago he sprinkled on the top of each stump abouta teaspoonful of pulverized saltpetre. A few days ago he set fire to these stump, and says they commenced and continued to buru until every stump was totally consumed, roots and all, so that he was able to plough without the difficulty over the very ground formerly occupied by these large stumps. Ife says some of the stumps burned four or five days. Farmers, try the Doctor’s remedy; he says it will not fail. ‘I'he Doctor also says that if your cabbagesplants are troubled with little black buges you can save every one of them by sprinkling them lightly with Cayenne paper. Use an ordinary table pepper box. This is a dead shot.—Grandy (Mo.)

Said be, “You have beeu here, my son, tour years, and you go away to-morrow with the idea that you know more than the ayerage run of men.”’ The cadet frankly answer- ed, “Ido.” “Well, air,” said the gener. al, “I have seen a generation of classes graduate at West Point, every member of it holding the same idea of thiags as you do ; but I never met ore of them in after years who did not confess that when he Went out in the world he found he had mistaken his own strength and knows ledge.” And then the princely old gen- tleman, with that courtly grace and good- heartedness which made him the beloved man he was to all who knew him, softly added: “You will find when yon go in- to the world that you know nothing ; that you area child in the wilderness ; 80 on’t put on any airs, fot the world will take you tor a countryman if you do.’’— Correspondent of the New York Herald. Don’t Foot WitTH tHe ELEPHANT. —At the conclusion cf the afternoon per- formance, while the people in attendance were looking at the managerie, eome boys annoyed the elephant by giving him sticks, tobacco, etc., which made him so angry that he reach out his trunk for the youths nearest to him, and partially ens circled three of them. Two managed to get away, but one aged about 12 years, eon, of H. Luhrs, of. the Sazeracsaloom, was caught by the elephant’s trunk, turn- ed around two or three times, and then raised to the beast’s mouth, the animal seeming to have the intention of bitting him in fact his head was raised so high and with sach foree that the boy’s felt hat had a hole broken in its top by collision with one of the elephant’s tusks. A num- ber of men sprang forward to cause the animal to release his hold upon the boy, which he did, throwing him aside with such yiolence that his rightfoream was broken. The animal was much excited for about ten minutes, amd prevented the boy’s hat being obtained during that time. The clephant’s keeper were not present at the time, and no_ precautions had been taken to keep children and other persons at a proper distance from him. The boy who was injured had his left arm broken by an accident about a year ago.—Sa- cramento (Col. Union, July, 20. a oo A Happy Home. Some discouraged wives fancy they do nothing worthy when they only make a good and happy home. For such we quote the following paragraph from an exchange: “It takes a good deal ot brains to keep honse, to make a home, even if you don’t do the manuel labor. Tne woman who makes a perfect one puts into the work probbable enongh tal- ent to have made a fortune. But if she profers the latter result, she dad best not marry. She may be able to do either thing better, more profitably, but very few of us in thts world get into just the place or have just the work we want. ‘There is no tonic better than the con- sciousness that one amounts to something. But we are sorry for the woman who thinks she does not because she only keeps house.” Self-Amputation of an Arm. A short time ago, Medical Temperance meeting in London, Dr. George Lamb, in the course cf a speech, mentioned the fol- lowing curious incident in hospital prac- tice: “You have not long to be dresser or house-surgeon in any hospital before you come practically acquainted with some of the results of drinking upon the persons of the patients who collect there. You will very soon have brought un- der your care broken limbe, fractnred skulls and disfigured faces. I remember, when it happened to be one of my weeks on duty as a dresser, a woman came into the casualty-yard, carrying her left hand and part of her forearm in her right band. She had deliberately cut the flesh to the bone, and finding she was unable to get through the bone with the carving-knife she was using, finished the business by chopping it off with a blunt axe. The jag- ging of the wound by the instrur ment prevented, io a measure, some of the bleeding that would have other- wise occurred, She was at once placed in bed, and the arm had to be amputated higher up, more in accordance with sur- gical art. The only explanation she could give of her eonduct was, that the devil was on her clock, and he told her to do it. I need scarcely tell you the devil, in this case, as in many others, entered in the form of strong drink.” —_—__~an——_—_-_—— Reircious Frenzy AMONG THE Laprs. —A writerinan English magazine says, in speaking of services in a Lapland church : “It seems that within the last few years a kind of fanaticism has crept in among these Lapps. and the Word of God, instead of ‘paring oil upon a bruised spirit, as every one is taught to believe who will read the Scriptures aright, only fills them with imaginary terrors ; and, far different from the creed of the real Christain, they seem to think the best atonement they can make for their sins lies in outward show. Ihave seen a little of this in other churches in Sweden, where at cer- tains parts of the sérvice the women all commence groaning and sobbing 80 loud that you can scarcely hear the the clergy- man. This, however, soon passes off, and is scarcely worth noticing. These Lapps, however, must have beeu far more susceptible or far more wicked, for all at once, when the communion service,began, two or theee women sprang up in differ- ent parts of the church, and commenced fractically jumping, howling, shrieking and clapping their hands. I observed one middle-aged female, particularly en- ergetic, and sank down ina fit after about five minutes’ exertion. The infec- tion soon spread, and in a few minutes two-thirds of the congregation ‘joined in the ery,’ and all order was at an end. Fivo or six would cluster round one in- dividual, hugging, kissing, weeping and shrieking, till really thought some one would be smothered. One old patriareh in particular, who sat close behind me, seemcd an object of peculiar veneration, and the Lapps crowded from all parts of the church to hug him. How he stood it I cannot imagine; but he sat meekly enough, and at one time I counted no less than seven miserable sinners hanging about the old man, and shrieking and weeping. ‘The religious orgies of the wild oborigiocs in Australia round their compfire are not 8o frightful as this scene, for they at least do not desecrate a place of worship with their mad carousals.” shown strikingly during the war, when, A Notaste Banquet.—The Lord Mayor of London’s banquet to the repre- sentatives of art, literature, and the drama given on the 2lat ult., brought together a picturseque assembly of English and foreign celebrities. The first special toast of “Literature and Art” was responded to by Lord Houghton, Sir Francis Grant and M. Halanzier. The former alluded gracefully to some of his cotemporaries. He said: I sat by the death-bed of Col} eridge, the great philosopher, and I have lived to be perplexed by the speculations of John Mill and of Matthew Arnold. I was the college friend of Alfred Tennyson, and I hailed the rising genius of Algernon Swinburne. I was present at the historic births of Macaulay and Hallam, and I havo enjoyed the counter eontroversies of Freeman and Froude. I have scen Miss Edgeworth in her decline, and have lived to see the maturity of George Eliot. I came into Parliament with Vivian Gray, and now repose under the Premiership of Lothair. If you will allow me, I will for a moment turn from literature to the sister art. I heard Madame Catalani sing Luther’s Hymn in York Minster, and I am therefore the better able to appreciate the wonderful performanees and divine melody of the ladies I sec around me. eS A Dutchman’s Catechism.

It can- not be that our lite is a bubble cast up by the ocean of eternity, to float a moment on its waves, and, sink into nothingness. Else, why is it, the high and glorious as- pirations, which, led like angels from the temple of our hearts, are forever wander» ing about unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse on their faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars which “hold their festival around the midnight throne,’”’ are set above our lim- ited facultics, and forever mock us with their unapproachable glory? And, finally why is it that bright forms of buman beauty are presented to our eyes and then taken away from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts? Weare born for a bighcr destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rain-~ bow never fades—where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which pass before us like shadows, will stay in our presence forever — Prentiss. : +p Stick a Pin Here. The results of the Augusta cotton fac- tory enterprise, says the New York Sur, are such to encvurage the Southern peo- ple to further efforts in manufacturing. The dependence of the South on the North for manefactured products was with cotton in abundance, the wealthiest citizens were obliged tu purchase at enor mous gold prices clothing brought over in blockade runners, while the poorer classes wore the roughest of homespun. Since the war several praise-worthy ef- forts have been made by Southern capi- talists to make their section independent. The most successful of those enterprises is the Augusta cotton factory, started soon after the war. Only sixty thousand dollars were ever paid in, and the company has paid out in dividends $1,- 067,000, has property worth $1,200,00 at the lowest calculation, and a surplus of 265,860. During the fiscal year just end- ed the company has expended $540,000 for new Machinery and for the enlarges ment and improvement of buildings. Yet Georgia only consumes 25,009 bales of cotton in ber mills, about one-twentieth part of her own crop, while most of the other Southern States are without wills, and have to send their whole crop elsewhere SINGULAR Accrpert to & Batre mMoRE Lapy.—At a pic-tic near Morgantown, the other day, Miss Annie | R. Johnson, of Baltimoré, met with a most remarkable accident. , A rope swing had been attached to the limb of a tree fally thirty feet from the ground, aad Miss Johnson being of a daring disposition insisted upon being swag hig as the gentlemen present coald-ewing her. The sport was continued sor some time, when suddenly Miss Johnson’s head was no- ticed to drop to one side, her musoles re- lax, her arms to let go their hold and drop, and away the unfortanate girl was hurled through the air. The momentam of the swing carried the apiparently life~ less form of the girl up fully thirty-five feet from the ground, and lodged her be~ tween two branches at the point where they join the trunk of a tree, which stood ‘about thirty-eight feet frome ghe tree to which the rope was attached. It required only a few minutes’ deliberation for the gentlemen to reulize the situation and de- termine what to do. It was fully twenty .eet from the ground to the first limb above, and the trunk of the tree about three feet in diameter. They backed the wagon with its canvas cover directly un- der the tree, so that in case she should drop her fall would be partially broken. The swing was hurriedly taken down and in an instant one end of the rope was thrown over the limb of the other tree and secured below. By this means two gen- tlemen of the party hurriedly went up the rope and in a few miuutes were at the side of the unfortunate girl. She was just returning to consciousness, and the force vf her fall had so securely wedged her between the trunk and the limbs as to require no little effort to extricate her. Miss Jolnson at once realized her fearful situation; she was pale and weak, but still had the good sense to do as the gen-~ tlemen desired. ‘The rope was pulled up, a slip-knot was made and passed around her body, under her arms, the other end paseed around the limb, and in this mans ner was lowered to the ground in safety. With the exception of a few severe bruises and scratches, she sustained no injury.— Lancaster Intelligencer. —— Prophecy of Mr. Calhoun. Below will be found an extract from Mr. Calhon’s address to the people of the South, on the part of the Southern mem- bers of Congress, published in 1849. ‘T'his singular prophecy bas been fulfilled to the very letter: “If emancipation ever should be effee< ted, it will be through the agency of the Federal Government, controlled by the dominant power of the Northern States of the Ganley, against the resistance and strargle of the Southern. It can then only be effected by the prostration of the white race ; and that would neces~ sarily engender the bitterest feelings of hostility between them aad the North. Owing thcir emancipation to them, they could regard them as friends, guardians and patrons, and centre, accordingly, all their sympathy in them. ‘Ihe people of the North would not fail to reciprocate and favor them instead of the whites. Under the influence of such feelings, and impelled by fanaticiem and love of power, they would not stop at emancipation. Another step would be taken to raise them to a political and social equality with their former owners by giving them the right of voting and holding public offices under the Federal government. “We see the first step toward it in the bill already alluded to—to vest the few blacks and slaves with the right to vote on the question of emancipation in this district. But when once raised to an equality they become the fast political associates of the North, acting and voting with them on all questions, and by this political union between them, holding the white race at the South in complete sub-~ jection. The blacks and the profligate whites that might unite with them could become the principal recipients of Federal offices and patronage, and would in con- sequence be raised above the whites in the South in the political and social scale. We would in a word change conditions with them—a degradation greater than has ever yet fallen to the lot of a free and enlightened people, and one from which we could not escape should emancipation take place (which it cortainly will if not prevented) but by fleeing the homes of ourselves and ancestors, and by abandon- ing our country to ovr former slaves, to become the permanent abode of disorder, anarchy and wretchedacss.” ge Fruits AnD Heatti.—Dr. Hunt said ata recent meeting of the Warsaw Hors ticnltural Society, that “ an abscence of fruits implied doctor’s bills."”. We have urged for many years the importance of a regular supply of ripe fruit to prevent disease, and insisted that the best medi- cine chest which an emigrating family could carry te a newly settled country would be a box of early bearing fruit treea, currant goosberry and raspberry bushes, and strawberry plants. We knew a fam- ily who moved West, and took with them a very large supply of dried frait, which lasted them throughout the first sammer. None of them were sick, although disease prevailed all about them that year; but the next year, with more comforts and less privitations, but with no fruit, they suffered much from sickness. Other wes- tern residents have told us that so long as they could have ripe fruit, they have been free from all disease resulting from malaria.—Southern Furmer. —__ oo Twix Corrs.—On the farm of Mr. John A, Shenk, who lives near this place, we are told, may be seen this novelty, our informant says they are fine and healthy young animale.

But they should not be. ‘I'he success of the Dem~ ocratic Party is the best thing that ever happencd for the colored race, and this we hope to convince them of before a great while.

No greater moral curse could possibly be inflicted upon the people than to be called out to listen to such speeches as we have heard from candidates this year. Never have we heard anything so peculiarly adapted to ruin the judgment aod pervert the taste of that large class of honest yeomanry whom these public speakers are appointed to edify, to improve and to instruct—the pliable mass of voters, whom they have the dear but respousible privilege of moulding at their will, by fervid and timely words, into forms of plastic political power and elegance. or vile mobs of unwieldy and unmanageable and crushing proportions. We utterly deny the necessity of an) such departures from decency and respeeta-ility. We here and now euter our solemn protest against any avd all species of apology for it —the attempt to palliate or excase a dowu- right and deliberate insult to the good seuse of the people by pleading the necessity of circumstances and the evil example of oppo- nents will be exactly futile, and will only inake the matter worse. Indefensible and inexcusable as it is anywhere and at any time, we would be recreaut to our duty, did we not most promptly, decidedly, aud with all due severity, condemn it. When we neg- lect to denouuce the like, we may be account ed allies and partisans of public licentious- ness. No two wrongs can make a right. We may not do evil that good may come. And the man who shocks the public ear by vulgar and blasphemous language, for the purpose of fastening a stigma upon his oppo- nent, blackens hitnself in the estimation of bis fellow-men, and ineurs self degradation. Do great men rave at mean ones? Do pure men resort to slang and vulgarity to puta deeper black on the already stained? Do good men Dblaspheme by insinuatiuu—by covertly profane words, stories aud gestures. in order to turn the tide of popular laughter against an adversary? Alas, for our count- ry!

C. July 28th, 1874. Dear WATCHMAN :—There is not a coun- try under the sun where the people would not prefer a kiug toa thousand petty tyrants —the presence and control of a wise, intelli- geut aud rightful set of nobles to the suffrage of a promiscuous, ignorant and nuprincipled crowd, coinposed of the dregs of all other uations aud the maggots aud muck-worn:s of their own. Yet I would uot advocate the claims of absolute monarehy in Aterica to insure the happiness and prosperity of the people, no more than I would ran headlong and blindly to copy the mischiefs bred by a well-intended but too numerous, powerful and exclusive aristocracy in aucient Europe. However, it may be beueficial occasioual- ly to review, with unprejudiced eye, the hou- est experiments aud pardouable errors of the older vations ; and, by contrast, get a better idea of the object of the founders of our Re- public, and of our own latter day variation of republicanism run wild—of the difference between freedom and foolery. In the olden time, the peuple inhabiting the countries now called England. France, Russia, Germany, Italy and Spain very laud- ably imagiued that “the most powerful stim- ulus to virtue was to ennoble the descendants of their virtuous citizens. ‘Tu this end they made *uobility hereditary, and preclud- ed to the rest of the citizens the paths which lead to distinction.” After the lapse of years had brought this order of tuings to maturi- ty, they tound themselves iuvelved by it in hopeless difficulties and coinplicatioas, from which it was well nigh impossible to extri- cate theniselves.. A few partician families, absorbing all the honors, offices and emolu- ments of the realm, the poorer and plebeian aud legs fortunate agriculturists, artizans aud trades-pevple lost, in the majority of in- stances, all enterprise and ambition, ana “fell into a lethargy, actually fatal to arts aud handerafts.””. Especially was this the result iu Spain, aud also in part of [aty. Nor was this all. Two distinet 1 ations were generally formed in the same State, as a necessary and inavoidable consequence. “which at length had nothing in common between thei.” Hence arose tue proverbi- ally unhappy covdition of such regions as Hungary, Boliewia, Poland aud Brittapy.— There ‘a nobility, iusufferably lofty, formed a class absolutely distinct from the rest of the citizens.” : Oligarchy, we cau therefore perceive. has had its day of trial and failnre, all) over Eu- rope. Butinu these United States we have now veered into the very opposite and far more fearful extreme of a liceutions freedom and a democracy of duuces and devils —a thing which our cooly-calculating forefathers would have beeu horrified at, as deceut and sane indivi luals—a thing which, in founding the government, they could never have an- ticipated—for while they strove to avoid the evils of an Oligarehy, from which past exe perieuce warned ther. on the one hand, they had vo more stomach for Mongrelisin, Amal- gamatiou and Filth, on the other, than any well raised Englishman has for the canuibal daiuties and dog-meat pies which are the favurite repasts of the inhabitants of the coast of Guiuea. Doubtiess the original settlers of any new country like this, and their lawful heirs and descendants—in our case, the very white men (and their posterity.) who first subdued the wilderness aud the savages of Massa- chuesetts and Virginia—are and ought to be its rightful rulers. The balance of power inust aud should remain in their hands— un- less, by paradox, we should suppose it to be wrested froin them by a superior in-coming race. The id'ers, criminals, ignorainuses and idiots of their own blood, not entitled to the appellation or privilege of white men. and every stinking, dirty, lousy mother-son and miserable, Heaven-cursed mongrel of infe- rior stock have no true part or lot in it; aud, to use a homely phrase, they should ‘* keap to their place” of servants and depeudants, giving honor and implicit ubedience iv their “masters.” ; These should no mure Le allowed a yote 7 F iebet of op Beate fooren of Virtae. bad mento userp the hon-: which eandidates often sought to add-pauper |- a deniver ae ws ors and to take ion of the.earaings of good men, or the Devil to rule in Heaven. The laws of suffrage, in the swodel Repub- lic, should be restricted by three paramount considerations. viz :— First, the irrevocable law of superiority, which has: been established throughout Na- ture by Nature’s God, and confirmed by all history, and which gives the while man pos- session of every land he discovers. Secondly, the criterion of ivtelligence. Thirdly, the qualification of morality. But this would be more like building a castle or Republic in tbe air than anything else, you may say, and with trath—such. aa Arcadia would exist only in the imagination of the writer—iu a word it is impracticable. While everybody knows and acknowledg- es the impractieability of any system of eth- ics, there is always a grand necessity for the code—and our simple duty is to live up to it just as nearly as we can. How should we endeayor as nearly as pos- sible. to live up to this code at the present time ? First. by firm protest, through our words, example aud influence, agaipst all such ineasures as the Civil Righ's Bill; and by showing that we kuow ifs negro too well for our Northern people ever to cajole us to admit the slightest justice in any of the priv- ileges they have. between rashness, iguor- ance and wickedaess, accorded tu hin. Secondly, by charging our legislators to seek every opportunity to inaugurate an op- posite class uf measures ; and to do their best to restrict rather than.eztend the eligibility of voters—be it even in the slightest degree; and to keep this object steadily iu view. Thirdly, by sending men like Ropbins to Congress, who will speak theirs aud our miuds, and give these Yankees to fully and clearly understand that we have most **po- tent, deep and mighty’ reasons for the faith that is in us—that we can not, will not and dare not harbor the faintest idea of negro e- quality ; and that they must first alter the laws ot Nature aud usurp the powers of Ow- nipoteuce, before they can accomplish avy such an iusane aud devilish scheme.

The effect, both while the boquet embellish the uapking, and after they haye been transferred to the buttonshole of the geny tlemen’s coat, and to the bosoms of the ladie’s dresses, is very pretty and pleas~ ing.

The unjust piece of legislation was repealed at the last reasion of Congress and the act has been approved, and is vow alaw. According to the provisions of the new act any interested party can alix the stamp necessary to the writing in this way. “The person desiring to stamp the same shall appear with the document, instrument or paper, or copy thereof, b. fore some judge or a clerk of a court of record, and before him affix the proper stamp; and the said judge or clerk shall endorse on the samc or copy a cer- tificate under his hand when made by said judge, and under his hand and seal when made by said clerk, setting forth the date at which time, and the place when the stamp was so affixed, the name of the person presenting said writing or copy, the fact that it was thus affixed, and that the stamp was duly canceled in his presences” a The Great Danger of Ministers. From the New York Observer. The establishment of such relations be- tween a pastor aud his fiock as shall secure for him that iutimacy which ought to exist only in the domestic circle is an evil of fear- ful tendency and unspeakable danger. Min- isters are censurable in a high degree who encourage their people, meu or women, to cume to thein with fainily matters or secret sores. Some imen are themselves gossips, and delight to get aud give all they can of social news, and the more secret the richer the prize They encourage revelations wheu their ears should be deaf to everything ap- proachiug to seandal.

She goes to his study to tell him svt how mueh evjoyment she fiuds in bis words ; or she writes him a letter and pours out her little soul full of twaddle about | er gratitude fur what hee dear pastor has done for her; how she ‘ris lifted up” by his instrne- tions ; how she Joves him asa friend given to be ker guide and comfort; and so on, and so on, more aud worse, runDiug inte a maw- kish sentimentality, a sickening mau-wor- ship. disgusting to every sensible person, but very nectar to a vain, worldly preacher, who seeks only to make his hearers ‘feel good.” Such people never go to their pastor to ask “what they must do to be saved.” It is to tell him how good they feel ; how he is ‘‘ex- alting” them, “filling them with joy, peace, and love.” We canuot go into particulars without offending the tastes of every reader. We make our meaning plain. We wish to be understood as saying that what worldly preachers and sentimental women call **com- munion of soul,” and ‘‘kindred spirits, ’mu- tual help” and “holy smpathy,”’ and words in the same strain, is not religion—it is not even religious. It is of the earth earthy.— It is ‘‘earoal conceived in sin.” It is simp- ly the lower uature, the human passion in one ereature toward anuther.

With one person it ia the poetry of motion; with another it is about as awkward a per- formance as putting yourself upon a ley- él and going through the motion of run ning up stairs would be. A Kentucky girl is a nataral waltzer, and she Coes it with a charming chic and abandon. Au Ohio girl’s waltzing is easy, graceful, and “melodious.” If she happens to come from Cincinnati and across the Rhine, she swings dreamily round and round in the endlesa “Dutch waltz.” If she comes from Chicago, she throws her hair back, jumps up and cracks her heels together, and carries off her astonished partoer as though a simoon had struck him, and knocks over all intervening obstacles in her mad career around the room. If she is from Indiana, she creeps closely and limidly up to her partner, as though she would like to get into his vest pocket, and melts away with ecstacy’as the witching straius of the ‘‘ Blue Danube ” sweep through the ball.

He considers the existence of High, Low, and Broad Church parties in the establishment as natural, and defined them very happily as representing ‘ceremony, enthusiasm. and free speculation.” But Ritualism he declared to be the “ mass in mas- querade,” and doctrines which he con- sidered well enough when held by Catholics, he objected to when held by clergymen “who have made a solemn compact with the nation to reject them.” HIe was the more anxious for the passage of the bill because a great struggle between the temporal and spiritual powers is coming on, and Sngland’s safety will then be found in adhering to the principles of the Reformation. — ~~. Aaron Burr. Henry Ward Beecher says : Aaron Burr was a keener thinker than George Wash- ington. Ife was a far more ingenious ina, @ more active man, and, if he bad been a moral man, and maintained norm- al relations with dis fellow men, and with the laws of rectitude, he would have ‘been an abler man. Washington was a manu of good sense, but he was not a man of gen ius in any direction, except that of con- science. He wasa man of singular equity, great disinteresteduess, and of pure and upright intent. Sagacious he was, by a light which came from iutegrity. He en- dured, having faith to believe that right was right, and that it was safe, and that in the end right would preyail. ‘That which made Washington the only great hero of our revolutionary straggle was the light of the moral element that was in bim —not auy intellectual genius which he possessed, or any remarkable executive power. And if you look back on the names iv our history that have stood the test, you will fiud that they have been men who were fruitful in the bighest mor- al element. And as time goes on, those men who lack these elemeuts sink lower and lower till they set below the horizon ; and those who possess them, tu rise high- er, until they reach the meridian, with ua dying epleudor, to shine upon history and the world. —_———_~-ao—_—_ An Unwholesome Season. The closing days of winter and the early days of spring are very trying to the feeble and sen- sitive and are apt tu affect unpleasantly even the more robust and vigorous. Nothing can be more uncongenial to the neryes or more depressing to the spirits than damp, chilling winds, fugs and cold rains, and of such unwel- come visitors we have a superabundanee at this season, Common prudence suggests, therefore, the propriety of fortifying the system agiiust insidious enemies of health and comfort, and the experience of more than a quarter of #cen- tury points to Hosteiter’s Stomach Bitters as the all-sufficient sanitary safeguard under such untoward circumstances. An accession of vital strength and energy is what is required to neet and overcome the unhealthy elements now present in the atmosphere. This increase of vital power, so necessary to mect the extraordi- nary drafis which an inclement seasun makes upon the system and the constitution, can be readily acquired by taking from two to three doses of Hostetter’s Bitters daily during che winter and Spring months. The nature of this celebrated restorative is well known to the pub- lic. It is composed of an absolutely pure dif- fusive stimulant, medicated with the extracts and juices of the most effective tonic, alterative, anti-bilious and laxative roots and herbs known to medical science. To the combination of these excellent ingredients, in proportions sui- table to the exigencies of enfeebled, languid and diseased systems, the great tonic-alterative owes its efficiency as a preventive and curative. A course of it commenced now, will prevent all. danger of fever and ague, rheumatiam, or other ailments arising from cold and damp peculiar Pto the spring months, and also prove a safeguard against tne attacks ofdyspepsia and liver com- plaint whick so frequently occur at this period thar vice shuuld be allowed to take the it. a oti From the,C incinnati Times. e + ; ¥ . = rl aneone * BEAUTIF a, i < their deceased relatives. to $60, according to size and style.

It is strange that more thieves of horse fleeh still enter the field, when so few escape justice, particularly as the pen- ally is generally heavy. The Result.—We think the reeult ia about as follows; Pool carries the State by about 10,000. Out of eight Congresemen the Democrats hive elected seven ; namely, Yeates, Waddell, Davia, Scales, Aabe, Robbins, and Vauce. Hyman, col, is elected by the Rads in the 2nd District. Of the seven judges voted for the Demo- crata elect five, namcly, Eure, McKoy, Kerr, Wilson aud Schenck. Seymour in the 3rd District and Buxton in the 5th are probably elected by the Raids. The Solicitors elected on the Democratic tick- et,so far as heard from, are Normert, Pemberton, Strudwick, Dobson, Mont- gomery, and Cowles More than a of the earth ?—Pascal, = See ie eres ae No man is 80 as a real Chitis- tian ; none‘so rational, so virtuous,'s0 amiable.

FERNANDO ON THE PRESIDENCY. —yYesterday Wash. McLean of Cin- cinnati and Fernando Wood were talking on the balcony of the States about the next Presidential campaign. “Is Grant working for the Demo- cratic nomination, Mr. Wood?” I asked. “No, sir ; Grant is working for the Republican nomination,” replied Mr. Wood. ‘The Democratic party will never go outside again for a Presiden- tial candidate. It will run a dog be- fore it will run Gen. Grant. “What is Gen. Grant doing ? “He is laying his ‘pipes’ fora third nomination by the Republican party, and he’ll be nominated too, I have private means of knowing that Grant holds the reins in his own hand, and that matter are being fixed so as to compel his re-nomination.” «Well other Republican condidates i among the wonders of the. They are traversed through a great portion of thir extent by railways, and ate as free from unpleasant ‘odor as the strects above them. — P; Soe the remaining portion is eff- ected by means of‘boats. Along these magnificent sewers are carried the wires of the telegraph as well as the pneumatic tubes for the transmission of packages by atmostheric pressure. The stream of water passing through the main sewer is so swift that not a bit of anything is seen floating along. They are kept free from any large amount of sewage deposit by means of peculiarly constructed barges each of which does the work of a hundred men. The small ones are kept clean by hand, six hundred and thirty men being employed for the purpose, whose tenure of life after they enter the sew- ers, rarely exceeds fiftee years. It is by such a perfect system or sewage that Paris has earned the enviable title of being the cleanest city in the world, All the solid matter is utlized and made to pay a revenue to the city largely excceding the interest on the original cost of the sewers.—Exchange a SOME OP THE MOURNERS., RADICAL CEMETERY.

IT know what I'm talking about, and you see if it doesn’t come true.” We hold to earth and earthly things by so many more links of thought, if notaffection, that itis far harder to keep our view to heaven clear and strong ; when this life is so busy, and, therefore, so full of reality to us, another life seems by comparison unreal, This is our condition and its peculiar tempta- tions, but we must endure it and strive to overcome them, for I think we may not try to flee from it.—Dr, Arnold.

There is an irritability all round, so that the tem> per is affected as well as every other dis- position, and you will have to be dou ble watchful to control your own temper and also suppress all notice of their peevish- uess. Old people, otherwise lovely, have all sorts of queer notions when they are sick ; and gentle, tractable children are often stubborn and ungovernable in sickness. They are vot themselves—you must tie yourself to them by the silken thread of bpatent love, and then they will not be drawn away from you by a cord ora cable. Love is a cooling zephyr in a wild fever ot any zone, however torrid, a gentle glow in any arctic ague, a fascination that you may rank among unaccountable phenomena in poor humanity. Practice it upon the emaciated one to whom you minister, and the response will make your own heart dance in every fibre as the vi~ brating chords from a blind harper’s hand make his heart dance for joy. Its mys- tic influence will remove your own timidi- ty when contagion puts you in peril, and it will lighten all the hardships and sa- crifices to which the care of the sick wil- lingly binds you.

Not that there is often on a well-ordered and well- ‘yegtlated farm much time when abun- dant work cannot be found ready to the hand, but it is less urgent ; and when an opportanity offers now for recreation and rest, there is no reason why it should not be availed of. Plewing for Wheat .—Asz soon as possible this work ought to be done, and the more thoroughly the soil is palver- zed the better will be its yield. Deep is a great protection against win- ter killing by promoting the discharge of las moisture, bu’ shallow cultivation does more to destroy the weeds. Manure for wheat and rye onght not to be plowed under too deep. Sowing Rye.—Some of the best farmers of this State endeavor to get this in the latter part of this month, whilst others prefer to wait until the be- ginning of middle of next. The condi- tions of success are, however, the same, and we will briefly allude to them. Rye likes a soil rather sandy in its nature, but it is idle to expect much of a return from any land not in good heart; and this is a crop which will repay you for any ex- tra care in the prepartion of the soil, or for any extra portion of manure you may apply. Ten to twelye good loads of sta~ ble manure, or 200 or 300 Ibs, of a re- Viable super-phosphate, or 200 Ibs. of bone dust, 50 Ibe. Peruvian guano and 1 bushel of salt, will Le found an applica- tion which will pay in the returns receiv- ed. The old plan of putting rye on the t land onthe farm can scarcely a longer thought the highest wisdom. If the rye is too rank either in fall or spring it can be grazed, without any damage, by sheep or calves. If possible seed without the drill, to insure against winter killing. About five pecks of seed to the acre is sufficient. Buckwheat may still be sown and may escape early frosts, and fora m manure up to the middle of the month will do to sow it. Turnips may be sown at any time this month. The strap leaf, white. or purple top, is the general favorite bere. One pound to the acre is sufficient if sown broadcast, which is the mode generally adopted. Supersphosphate of lime seems especially suited for turnips, and about 200 lbs, to the acre will not only give them a vigorous start but carry them through the season eo as to produce a good crop. It is now too late, with ordi- nary seasons, to show Ruta Bagas. Late Potatoes ought to be kept clear, and the soil light. At the last work- ing, if a mixture of salt and plaster (one bashel of each to the acre,) is sown over them it will pay for the trouble. Root Crops.—Sugar Beets, Man. gels and Ruta Bagas, ought to be fre- quently worked and thoroughly thinned out. A large decrease of the crop will follow from not keeping the weeds down and the earth mellow. ‘I'uis is true also of Carrots and Parsnips. Making Manure and Com ts.—The hot sun aids very mach in e fermentation of the manure piles and composts heaps, aud this makes the sire good season for increasing their ulk by the collection of the odds and ends of the farm, such as weed, road scrap- ings, old sods, the waste from the house, &c. We repeat our previous recommen- dation to always make the active ingre~ dient of your compost heaps good man- ure, as this will impart activity to all the other ingredients. Top-Dressing Grass Lands and Pastures.—Now is a good time to put on a dressing of well-rotted com- post or barn-yard manure, or fine bone ashes and salt, harrowing either in. It is well at the same time to sow timothy, orchard, red top and clover seed. The advantage to be gained by this treatment will soon and long be manifest. Fences.— Examine their condition and have any needed attention given them, that there may be no trespassing stock. ; Granaries ought to be well cleaned out, and made ready for the new crops when threshed. In our June No., Mr. Atlee gave a remedy for the black weevil which so infest some barns. ‘Tar is said to be offensive to this insect, whilst some authorities say nothing will eradicate it but fumigation with sulphur. ‘This last is a dangerous application in barns where bay or unthreshed grain is stored. DralINinG anD Ditcutnc.—The pres- ent month is a good time for attending to this very important work. Live Stock.— Sheep onght to have tar and salt provided ag a preventive against the fly. Cows ought to be well supplied with good food as_ the pasture becomes short. Nothing, perhaps, is bet- ter than corn fodder, if you have been provident enough to save it. JZorses ought to be kept in dark stables as far as practicable to protect them from insect tormentors. Dr. A. H. Davega, President of the Chester & Lenoir Narrow Gaugo R, K., passed through Hickory on last Monday moruing in the prosecution of his duties on the line. ‘The Road is under contract from Chester to Lincolnton, as also from the Catawba River to Lenoir, leaving on- ly the space between Lincolnton and Cas tawba River (twenty three miles) yct to be-let out.—Picdmont Press.

Frost 1x Aucust.—Not only are they finding it rather cool these days in New Hampshire, but in the Catskill Mountains, according to accounts from visitors who returned to New York yesterday, they have had, within a day or too, a decided frost. In the low grounds, between mountain ridges, white frost was quite perceptible.—New York Commercial Ad- vertiser. AGED Lovers.—Yesterday during the session of the Episcopal Convocation, now in prrogress at Accokeek church, Prince George’s county, Maryland, the services were interrupted by the entrance of acol- ored man aged 96 and a colored woman 108 years old, who had walked a long dietance or there for the purpose of being marrié@iand yet did not have their desires gratified because they had no li- cense. —Alexandria Gazette. ——— Drying Figs. The following method of drying figs is said to make them equal to the imported article, and- keep any number of years: 1. Make three qualities or classes — first, figs not quite ripe; second, those barely ripe; third, fully ripe. Put each quality by themselves. 2. Scald in weak lye. Thisis to take the roughness off the skin. It is, however, not essential. 3. Boil in good sugar syrup ten of fifteen minutes; take out and dry in plates and dishes. 4. When fully dry bake or steam to kill the fly eggs, and then pack in tight boxes, uring a little powdered sugar. Seal up until wauted for use. If you use a drying furnace there will be no fly eggs, and they will be ready as soon as dry for packing. eg aS ree eae It is Greek Tradition that when Adam was dying, he sent his son to the Garden of Eden to request that the angel who kept the way thereto would send him some of the fruit of the Tree of Life, that he might taste and live. ‘I'he angel de- nied the request, but gave to the son of Adam three seeds. ‘‘Place them,” said he “in thy father’s mouth ; and when they shall have geown into trces he shall be freed from his sickness.”” The son re- turned, and found that Adam had already expired. ‘I'aking the three grains, he placed them in bis father’s mouth, and buried him thus. From these grains, in process of time, sprang threc trees, of which the wood of the cross was made. pe FemaLe CApTarins.—Among the cap- tains of the numerous canal boats that come to this port, are some four or five who are females. ‘Their sex though does not militate against the efficiency, for they can blow as shrill a blast upon a horn, steer as clear of a passing boat, and keep their crews as well in hand as any male captain on the canal, and, what is still better, in the inevitable disputes that result from their vocation, always come off victorious.— Alex.

The following | the article, says the Richmond Dispatch, A Remedy for Cattle Distemper.—This disease prevails more or less in our town and vicinity every summer, and usually proves fatal among the cattle which it attacks. Heretofore there has been found no sure remedy for it. We have heard of some losses by it recently. A citizen of the neigborhood, who has recently had several cows sick ‘with the distemper, tried the following prescription, which produced a cure in each case: Alum, one ounce ; sulphur, one ounce ; saltpetre, one ounce; linseed oil, one quart; mix together for a dose, and if no action is pr in twenty-four hours, repeat the ose. This isa remedy discovered by Mr. Stewart, a celebrated cattle-raiser of Scotland —Danville Register. Our Victory in Boston. The Boston Advertiser speaking of our great victory in the old North State says : In North Carolina and Kentucky the interest was chiefly concentrated on the election of Congressmen. Ia the latter State the Republicans bad no Congress~ men to lose. In North Carolina they had three, of whom the first reports indicate that only one willlbe retained, and he a new man, of the colored race, not likely uns less his character “is misrepresented, to prove a valuable member. —_—_ +o What Killed the Republican Party in North Carolina. The Washington column of the Herald contains the following, dated 9th inst ; Supervisor Perry, of North Carolina, ar- rived here this morning enroute for Maine, where he will spend a week. He eays that the Civil Rights bill is what killed the Republican party in North Carolina, and conceeds a Democratic ma- jority of 10,000 ; two years ago it will be remembered this official was the leader of the Republican party in North Carolina, and organized the State eo as to secure a Republican majority to affect the Presi- dential campaign iu November, 1872. ‘The sudden change bewildered him, and he thinks it would have been better had Congreeas disposed of the civil rights measure. So great a victory on the part of the Democrats he fears will encourage illicit distilation, and he will ask thata military posse be established in the parts of the State where it bas already been suppressed. ——— ~aa-——__—_ CIVIL RIGHT. The Cincinnati Commercial has a long leading editorial, in which it essays to show that Mr. Justice Bradley has ren dered a decision against the constitution~ ulity of the Civil Rights bill (of course only substantially so,) and to proye that the Republican party is uot pledged to the paseage of that bill. It affirms that hardly a majority of the Republican law- yers of the country hold that bill to be constitutional. “She whole tendency of is to relieve the Republican party from the odium of that bill of abominations, to put the party upon anew task or track. But what is to become of Morton, Conk- link, Edmunds, Wilson, Colfax, and the rest 7 Let us possess our souls in pa- tience. ‘I'he end is not yet. The Vendome Column. The Paris correspondent of the London Daily Tclegraph writes as follows : The Colonne Vendome is every day rising higher and higher, and will attain its former elevation about the beginning of next September. ‘To speak by the card, it will be as high as formerly ; less the altitude of ita statue. For it secms to be decided that the column is to have no capital ; the edifice is to be left uncrowned. In this State it will be a fit exemplar of K'rance it will appropriately embody the provisional government—tbe impersonal Septennate. But is there not something like moral cowardice in thus shirking the responsibility of replacing the etatue of the man who is identified with the column? The figure in imperial robes which the late Emperor had placed on the summit, was considerably injured at the fall of the column, but it could surely be repaired as | easily as the edifice of which it used to form the ornament. ‘There surely could be no impropricty in restoring the little corporal to his elevated sentry box: Unfortunate Love. Mr. Smith, of Waumatosa, Wis., was the principal of an academy, and a man of ; good education and supposed good sesce. the Papal residence has beeu chosen, and Until forty years old he remained a bache- lor. ‘Then he tell in love with a school girl, who was romantic enough to encour- age him, until her parents talk her out of the idea. At this Smith cut his throat. ‘The gash was deep and dangerous, but not fatal. It left a long scare and seemed to cure Sinith of his passion. A few years later he had a relapse. ‘his time it was a young widow, who humored, teased, aud finally jilted him. He promptly got out his razor again, and slashed at his jugular. The result was a seconed scar. erusaing the old one like the ends of a sawbuck. Another year passed, and a month ago Smith fell in love for the third and last time. It was a teacher in his academy, and she really intended to mar- ryhim. ‘he wedding-day was appointed, and nearly reached, when she suddenly changed her mind, because somebody told her of Smith’s two previous love affairs. She could not marry a man who had loved two women before her, and 80 eloped with a fellow who was too young to have seriously loved anybody. Smith’s heart was broken this time past mending. He still! owued the razor of bloody mem~ oy. His gricf was deeper thau on the previoag occazions, and so was the gash. Smith is dead. Tae Frowsr Forert-Mg»Not.— Mills, in his work upon chivalry,° men- tions that the beantifal little flower called “forget-me not” was known in England as early as the time of Edward ITI., and in a note, he gives the following pretty incident in explanation of the name: “Two lovers were loitering on the margin ofa lake, ona fine Sammer’s evening, when the lady discovered some flowers of the Myostis growing: on the water, close to the bank of an island, at some distance from the shore. She expressed a desire to possess them, when her kright,ina true spirit of chivalry, plunged into the water, and swimming to the spot, cropped the wished-for- plant ; but his strength was unable to fulfill the object of his achievement, and feeling that he contd not regain the shore, al- though very near it, he threw the flowers upon the bank; and casting a last affec- tionate look upon his lady-love, he said, Forget-me-not,’ and was buried beneath the surging billows.” a ee Tae Escape oF Lek Drx_ar.—Every reader of the NEWS must be well acquain- ted with Lee Dunlap, a negro who was charged with the killing of a white man by the name of Baker in Charlotte, and who has been saved from the gallows by the protecting hand of the Republican party. He was ordered to Wake county jail as a United States prisoner, his counsel having secured a trauster of the case from the State to the Federal Court, While be has been imprisoned in Wake county jail he wassaid to have been an especial pet of the Radical authorities, and was prisoners. On Friday night when it was ascertained that the Democrats bad carried Wake county and a Demoeratic Sheriff was elected, the doors of the jail were op- ened and this guilty criminal allowed to depart his wag in peace. If there is any law left in this county, the guilty Radical officials that permitted this act should be made to suffer on the gallows, if needs be the punishment of the criminal thas re- leased.—Raleigh News. Tne Raleigh Crescent says: We went to hear the Rev. A. W. Mangum of the Methodist Church last Sunday. His subject was the true means of bringing about a revival. He had hardly begun his remaka when with a parenthceis ae andden aa it was well put he exclaimed : “Brethren, I have now been preaching about three winutca, and [ tell you that | want to sce noue of your mental stupor reflected on me in this pulpet.

The wind blowing over them came to us sweet with the odor of sweet flower blossoms; larks sang in the air, snowy ibises stood pensively on the edges of sparkling pools, and here and there a boy sang some shrill, monotonous Arab song. In the Hast, the citadelmosque stretched its two minarets like taper fingers averting the evil eye; and in front of us the Pyramids seemed to mock all the late power of the world. Not forty, but sixty ceaturies look down upon us from those changeless peaks. They ante-date all other human records, except those of the dynasty immediately preced- ng that which built them. Hebrew, Sanskirt, and Chinese history seem half modern when one stands at the foot of the piles which were almost as old as the Coliseum is now when Abraham was born.” ————~+ > >+—___—_——_- Strange things come to the surface in the earthquakes in South America. Chuchyards yawn and graves give up their dead without waiting for the “witcb- ing hour.’ The scenes are horrible, and their pictorial illustrations are enough to make the blood run cold. ‘he dead do not rest in their graves, aud a curious example of this was furnished by the Ger- man bark Mathias Meyer, which arrived from Ancon, Peru, at San Francisco.

In the first place organize thoroughly, and make the white people a unit, Aas I have always told you, here lies our final salvation. Uhere ought to have been no white man on the other side in 1867 and 1868 ; bat there is less excuse now than then. ‘Ihe present issue is upon a social question, and it is wholly wanton and wicked, and is not necessary to restore the Union. Require every white man on this isane to take his social place. In the second place, deal kindly with the negroes. ‘I'hey are not to blame for this iniquity. They are the poor, iguor- ant tools of wicked men. They are to be the chief sufferers, if this bill (Civil Rights) shall become a law. All our progress in devising means to educate them will come to an end, and they will suffer in a thon- sand ways. As far as you can, reason with them, and show them their true inter- est and best friends. If they will not see, you will have done ycur duty. Many, perhaps, will see and aid us in saving them and ourselves, as well as our conn~ try generally. In the third place, for God's sake and your country’s, stop the habit of sending inen to Congress who bave no qualifica- tion for the place but the impudence to beg for it, and the shamelcssnees to trade for it! I make no allusion to any one. I am speaking of a great evil. ‘he begging, trading and scrambling for Federal offices by Southern white men, which we all sec aud witness at every recurring clection, is disgracing us as a people. I have no respect tor a Southern man who seeks a Federal office. He is a crim- inal who secke or holds one to gratify a personal vanity. Public office is not pri- vate property, nor for personal compli- mevt. You have no right as a true patriot to vote fur a man because he is your rela- tive or your friend. Public vffice is a public trust and you prostitute this great trust of sufferage committed to you, when you vote for a man to execute such a trust for any reasons others than qualification. ‘There is no hope for the South in future, unless we can have ability in Congress Sycophants, clevir fellows, personal triends, kin- folks, hungry ofice-seekers, can never save you but will uegrade you more and more. If our people can not get out of the habit of voting for a man tor high office simply because of personal feelings, or personal, importunities, it is utterly idle and vain to talk about provid- ing aremedy for avy evil, present or to come. There ia a fearful respousibility on Georgia now. Our State is the freest of all the Southern Confederate Sisters. Of the seven States first organized as the Confederacy, Georgia is the only one now free enough to choose her own representa- fettered hands and pray you to send men to Congress who can vindicate our common dead, justify'our common living, and in- spire hope for our common children! They are powerless and we are free. Shall we forget them! * * * .The South has done nothing to be ashamed of. She has never been faithless to the Constilution There bad never been an hour when she was not satisfied with the Union, accord- ing.ta the Constitution. She bad seceded solely beeause the North was faithless to that Constitution. And, while secession was abandoned and slavery was abolish- ed, aud while we submitted to all laws, right or wrong, it was well for the North- ern people to understand that any Union in fact, not according to the Constitution, was a Union of force, and would never be a Union of concent. There Were just causes Sora hundred Wars in Reconstruction, and we would not be entitled to the re- it we were to furnish any reason for sub~ mitting to it except that of helplessness. A Union according to the constitation— the same in all respects for Georgia and Massachusetts—we of the South would consent to live in, glory in and die for! But a Union which makes Massachusetts a master and Gcorgia a vassal, we will never consent to, and only submit to while we are powerless. Mr. VERNON, N. C. Aug. 10th, 1874. DraR WATCHMAN: — What is Ro- manee ? It is that feeling without some degree of which no mancan be interesting--that charm- ing attribute of human character, which al- though in excess it is a weakness and re- ceives but little indulgence, compels ug to confess that there is nuthing truly generous or disinterested which does not imply its ex- istence. It is that poetry of sentiment which imparts to individuals or to incidents some- thing of the beautiful or the sublime. It elevates us to a higher sphere—it gives an ardor to affection. a life to thought, a glow to imagination—it lends so warm and sun- uy a hue to the portraiture of life, that it ceases to appear the vulgar, cold, insipid, dull and wnouotonous reality which common sense aluue would make it. But it is this very opposition between Romance and gobriety that excites eo strong a prejudice against the former. Why do the mass of mankind regard every romautic aud silly young person as such a natural object of contempt 2? Why do they recoil froin his personification of sentiment as it their chief desire seemed to be to divest theinselves altogether from its delusion ? Life is to them a mere calculatiuu—expe- diency their maxim—propriety their rule— profit, ease, or comfort theirain. And they have at least this advantage :—while minds of higher tone, and hearts of superior sensi- bility, are often harrassed and wounded, and even withered, in their passage through life. they ean proceed in their less adventarous career, neither chilled by the colduess. nor sickened by the ineanness, nor disappointed by the selfishness, of the world. They vir- tually admit, though they theoretically deny, the baseness of human nature. Strangers to disinterestedness theinselves, they do not expect to meet with it in others. They are content with a low degree of enjoyment, and are thus exempted frum inuch poignant suff- ering. Indeed it is only when the cxsualties of life interfere with their individual ease, that we can perceive that they are not alto- gether insensible. A good deal of this phlegmatie disposition exists in many who are capable of higher feeling. Such persons are so afraid of sen- sibility that they repress in themselves everything that savors of it. And though we mnay occasionably detect it in the inount- ing flush, or in the glistening tear, or in the half-suppressed sigh, it is in vain that we en- deavor to elicit any more explicit avowal. They are always ashamed of even what they do betray—one would imagiue that the im- putation of sensibility were almost a reflec- tion on their character. They must not feel, or, at least, they inust not allow that they feel ; fur feeling has led so many per- sons wrong that decorum can be preserved, they think, only by indifference. And they end in becoming really as callous as they wish to appear, stifle emotion so very suc- cessfully, the confirmed habit at length drowns it and makes it cease to give them any uneasiness. Such is the case with many who pass throngh life with great decorum. Yet if its excess is foolish. itis surely a mistake to attempt to suppress it altogether; for such an atteinpt will either produce a dangerous revulsion, or, if successful, will spoil the character. One would rather, almost, that aman were ever so romantic, than that he should always think, and feel, and speak, by rule. I should deem it far preferable that his sensibility brought upon him ve- casional distress, than that he always calcu- lated the degree of his feeling. Life has its Romance ; and to this it owes most of its charms. It is uot that every man is ahero. and every individual history a novel. But there are incidents in real life of peculiar—often so highly poetic—we need not be indebted to fietiou or the draina for the developemeut of Romance. Chris- tians will trace scenes and incidents dircetly to Providence—their bearts swelling with affection and confidence. aud wonderful the circumstances may be, the more clearly do they recoguize the di- vine “interference. Those are indeed to be pitied who err iu the opposite extreine—whose happiness or misery is entirely ideal, But we have with- in us such a capacity for both joy and. sor- row, independent of all outward circumstan- ces—such a power of extracting either froto every occurrence. that it is surely more wise to discipline such a faculity than to disallow its influence.

Keep away from cross road bar-rooms; work yourself; stay with your hired | hands; haul out all manures; attend to a place for everything and keep every~ thing in its place. This will stop @ heavy tax in the shape of expenditures for gear and pluws, hoes, axes, etc., and will save at least, ten days in the year lost by hunting up misplaced articles. Do everything in season. Watch the market and sell when the best prices prevail, and in order to do this take a good paper, study it and watch the crop reports. Do not be, deceived by the plausible showing of speculators. Many a farmer has lost two-thirds of his net profits by heeding the figures of sharp fellows who live by their wits. Do not invest all your capital in land; This makes to-day. Sh9.ueaviest tax paid by farmers of this State. Try to manage so as to have ready money enough to ran you through the year. This will save from ten to twenty per cent on purchases and a heavy tax, Adopt the English plan and have a work ing capital equal to your fixed capital. Five thousand dollars in cash are much better than fifteen thousand invested in land alone. Keep money to buy imple- ments and manure, to pay for labor and stock, and to enable you to hold your produce, for the best price will be obtain- ed after the supply has been diminished fully three fourths, and you will feel like a prosperous, thrifty man, and will be sure to be a contented one.—Ezxchange. ne ———— [New York Journal of Commerce. ] Whatthe Elections Mean. We can sce in the North Carolina and Tennessee elections what would have been the effect of the Civil Rrights bill if it bad passed. ‘I'he excitement to which its discussion iu Congress has given rise is almost as great in those States as if it were alaw. ‘he clections may be said to have turned on it; and .we now know what its terrible effect would be if it were more than a dream anda threat. A civil rights law, if it ever became more than a dead letter on the statute-book, would at once put blacks and whites all over the South into separate and hostile camps A few carpet: baggers would remain with the negroes, and a few negroes, would cling to the white friends whom they have never deserted; but the trouble ensuing would be, essentially, a war of races.— The whites of the South, Democrats and Republican alike, will uot tolerate so- called “social equality,” including mixed schools, forced upon them by law. ‘They are moet kindly disposed toward the une- groes,.and if let alone will keep on ex- cellent terms with them, and will accord to them all the “social equality” that their race enjoy in any Northern State; but they spiritedly resent all attempts in Con- gress to cram it down their throats.— ‘They know that the object of the agilas tion of the Civil Rights billis partly re- venge, and chiefly a base desire to make a strong, compact, exclusive party of the blacka which could be relied on to main- tain Radical supremacy at the South. * * * * Civil Rights bill, if it remains an open questiun, will cause a consolidation of the white vote all over the South. Men who in despair of reforming their States, have not voted for years, will turn out to des clare against that detested measure.— Bringing out every white man, straining every nerve; using all their influence and their money to divide the coloved vote, they will, we predict, make gains for Conservatism throughout the South while this bill is pending before Congress. In the strictly partisan view, there victories may be claimed as protests against the general policy of the Administration ; and the sins and errors of the Government do serve, in a degree, to explain the Conser- vative gains; but the cause of causes ig undoubtedly the introduction of the Civil Rights bill in Congress as a Republican measure. That Democrat is foolish who bases great expectations on the advance of Thureday last. It is still not beyoud the power of the Repulican party to hold its own a while longer by abandoning the Civil Rights bill and pursuing hence- forth the policy of letting the South alone, purging itself so good that the people will be content with ita rule till something better can be had. ———_- £ ar * A New Evporapvo.—Glowing reports of the mineral wealth of the Black Hill country, now being explored by Geu.

' Bat when we remember that Horace Gree- Jey was brought forward in the same in gidious and covert manner, it behooves the press to speak out promptly against the gevolting proposition. ‘here is no surer method of bringing defeat and atter dis- somfiture to the Democratic Party than to pominate Grant as its candidate for the Presidency, and no party would s0 richly Meserve humiliation, degration, should it do each a stupid thing.

The samc @lement is vow trying to foist Grant upon the party. There will be found a worth- fesse office-lunting fellow here and there grho will be ready to shout for Grant, but we hardly imagine that enough can be induced to do so to raisc a decent noise.

Itis said that in answer to the qnestion whether he was guilty or not he replied, with the rope arouud his neck, “Gentlemen, I am not guilty of this mur. der. I don’t know who di it. If you do not find out who did it to-night, you will in eternity.’”’ ‘The mob cried, ‘It’s a lie; swing him up,” and the wagon was driven from under him. Annie But- ler, a little white girl, twelve years of age, was found murdered in a woeds in Fall- ing-water District of this county. Sus- piciou pointed unmistakably to Laliaferro. He was tried last November. All the evidence was taken, and three counsels had spoken, when one of the jury became so ill that the case had to be adjourned and the jury discharged. He was tried again last May, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged on the 30th of July.

On our editorial side will be found sketch of his life. Mr. Rogers was exceedingly popular with every people of every clase. His manner was as inild as a woman’s; his eye full of gentleness and kiudness ; and his voice, never harsh or noisy on the hustings, led him among the people a favorite with all. He was twice elected to congress from this distiict, but in 1872 defeated for the position by Hou. W. A. Smith. Politics bad assumed a noisy and brawlieh phase which a man of Mr. Rogers’ gentle makeup was ill suited to understand. It was the thistle against the cedar in Lebanon aud Mr. Rogers was not bear enough to tread the thistle down. He was detcated in that campaign and has ever since lived in this city the smooth and even life of a private citizen. — Cresent. —_—_~+-<o A Point which Should be Duly Considered. Tn considering the struggle that the] whites of the negro-riddci States of the South are makivg to escape from mongrel rule and to ré-establish civilization, tue Northern people should bear in mind the fact itis notsimply because of the color or the ignorance and incompentency of the blacks that this struggle is made, but because the governments they administer are nothing leas than conspiracies, under the semblance of law, against all the pro- perty-holders, The whites hold the pro- perty, and as the carpet-baggers and nes groes cannot directly take it from them, they so abuse the taxing power as to wring from the tax-payers cuormous sums. The moncy thas raised is their plunder fund, By this sort of legerdemain they actually enjey the uec of all the pro- perty in the States. They get much more from it than the owners do. In this way it happeus that the people wlio hold no property ure enjoying, in the shape ot high taxes, which they steal as svon as collected, the profits of all the property, while the property-holdore get little or nothing. How long would Northern communities submit to such astate of thiugs ? And yet many of them express great amazement when they see among Southern people any display of sensiliveness inregard to the mats ter, They cannot, because they will not, understand how it ia that educated whites, who own all the property and pay all the taxes, should be unwilling to be ruled by ignorant and rapacious blacks, beaded by earpet-bagger adventarers and knaves. If it was their case, they would not be slow in understgucing this.—Richmond Whig. ee Liege Tar Procress oF Crviniza 10¥.— lia ebay Slat rooms, ‘faraighed b rickety saad wo Baden fiers destitute of carpet, and dingy wall anpapered, location in this city, north part of town.

A worse adwmiuis- tered Government for the last ten years, in so far at least as one-half of the coun- try is concerned, is no where to be found within the compass of civilized uations, aud a people can never have very enthu- siastic attactrments for a Government that is made a means of and oppression to them, and that makes an inferior race masters of the situation. Well may the Gazette ask these pertinent questions : ‘What prospects has a government for perpetuity which the people despise ? How can the sentiment of patriotism exist without respect for the government ? What is there to rally the people against either external or internal danger, when they have no goverument which they think worth saving? Is not general dis- gust with the government the always ready opportunity for the coming man on horseback 1? This ia the condition of the oppressed South now. Her people have not declar ed for any “coming man on horseback,”’ but they have declared most emphatically against the present ruling negro and car- bet-bag government which has brought us to the brink of despair, with a civil- rights bill still hanging over us. If these curses are not removed, or their burdens lessened, the man on “horseback” will not have to ride far before he will find himself embraced by fhe people as the choice of pending evils.— Petersburg News. —_—_—~>>-—__ John Brown was hanged on the eoil of the State where he struck the first blow fur freedom. Mr. Lincoln, the first anti- slavery President, died by an assassiu's bullet, which, yet, was scarcely more pitiless than the biography that afterwards tore Lia good uame to tatters. Preston King, it is said, committed suicide.— Gerritt Smith ia said to have lost his reason. Jim Lane died by his own hand, the victim of a remorse which even bis. fierce, iron nature could not endure. -— Horace Greely. died in defeat and dulir- ium, amidst the execrations of the party he bad built. Mr Beecher still lives, but only to look upon the ghastly fragments of a reputation which was the greatest of all—torn to picees by hia own friends, who in turn, he has ground into dust ui- der his heavy heel. Charles Sumner died under the condemnation of his party, hav- ing lived the last two years of his life un- der the condemnation of his State. Fre- mont lives under the ban of outlawry of a French court before whieh he retuses to appear to answer charges of fraud. So much for the tragic fate of the anti- slavery lvaders. ‘Turning to the South to look after their great antagonists on the other side, we find that Mason, Slidell, Soule, Brooks, Wigtall and Keitt have died peacefully on their beds; Stephens has lived to return to Congress; and ‘Toombs, Hunter, Wise, and Davis live to gee the wreck and ruin of so many of their old antagonists. Slavery came out of the contest defeated, and antisslavery ‘came out of it triumpkant; yet the smit- ten South contains few or no graves of self slain or dishonored leaders, while the victorious North is marked with many a dark spot where an anti-slavery champion has fallen.— St. Louis Republican. 7b The Beecher Statement. __ We print this morning the closiug part of Mr. Beecher’s statement. It is very able and plausibly written, and by superti- cial or sympathetic readers will be accepted as a complete refutatiou of Tilton’s charges To others it will not be regarded by any means so cunculsive. His retaliatory attack on Tilton, Moulton, Carpenter aud all those with whoin he was ouce affiliated, but whom he has now repudiated, is sharp, bitter and venomous. In so far as he has shown that they area bad lot he will have public op- ivion with him, and if in exposing their dir- ty liven they would clarify and whiten.the contents of his own buck basket Mr, Beech- er’s vindication would be complete. The strongest part of bis narrative is that where- in he assials his accusers ; the weakest that in which he endeavors tu explain away the damaging self-inculpation of his own letters. It is here be signally fails, both in his ex- plauatory statement aud in his cross-exami- pation. It is here he becomes prolix, labors heavily, turns sharp corners, and slides with ano awkward sort of adroitness over the stuinbling blocks in his way. His confes- sion and his letters are in perfect consunance with Tilton’s accusations. They are cow- plements of each other. and if we may 80 express it, doyetail with each other. In attempting to fit them to another theory, his ingenuity is baffled. The parts won't match. His theory is, that he is subject to fits of gloom, is moribidly sensitive of burting the feelings of others, and haying imagined Tilton’s disiniseal from Indepedent, aud in advising Mrs. Tilton to separate trom her husband—advice which sbe did not act upon —he gave vent to his grief in extravagant phrases aud self-accusations, which may be coustrued into a sense of guilt, but can be recuuciled with entire innucence. Unfor- tunately fur him—ingenious as such a theory 1 ie—the lang ‘ the intorpestlttes he pd the teudency to bh hou hear now for the first © count for the oan PF i he depicts his anguish-< ind. for death, his description of ~himseif living ‘on the sharp and ragged edges of anxiety, remorse, fear, despair ;"- hie agsimed cheer- fulness when he was “suffering the torments of the dainned ;* his abjeet-appeal to Tilton for forgiveness, ‘“‘hambling - myself - before him as I do hefure my God ;” his declaration that “he (Tilton), would have. been a better nan in my circumstances than I have been.” and his passionately grateful letter to Moul- tou, when he stopped ° Tilton’s threatened exposure, beginning. © “Many, many friends has God raised up :o me, but to no oneof them tas he ever giyen the opportanity and wis- dom so to serve ine as you have. You have also proved Theodore’s friend and Eliza- beth’s. Does God look down from heaven on three unhappijer creatures-?"’ All these utterance point dnly to one grave criine, and we regzet to say that Mr. Beeeher has not succeeded in this. the most vital part of his statement, or in bis answers to the Committee, iu making it appareot that he is innocent of the charges that Tilton has preferred against bin. The Committee may acquit. and Plymouth Church may invite him to resume his labors in the pulpit ; but before the bar of public opinion the most lenfent verdict he can expect to get will be the Scottish one of ‘Not Proven.”—Balti- more Gazette. : \ A South Carelina Negro Writes Home ‘from Liberia. We copy the fulluwing letter from the Yorkville Kuquirer written by Solomon Hill, a colored man who went from York, 8. C., to Liberia in 1871. Industrions colored people can get rich in Liberia : “T bave made one crop and am _ uearly done planting another, aud I know ifa person will half work he cau make a good living in Liberia, I raised, last year, rice, potatoes and cassada, of which I had an abundance for my own use and a quantity for sale. L sold over 100 kroves of swect potatoes, fifty kroves of cassada, and fifty kraves cf rice. Pota- toes are worth 25 cents per krove; cassada 18 cents, and rice, half-cleaned, $1.00 My corn is now matured, I have sown a large crop of rice. I have made good corn here with no other work than tbe labor of plantiug. Of ginger, which is a staple product, [ have this year planted fitty’ pound. June Moore has _plauted over 100 pounds, which is sufficient for one acre, and will yield 1,000 lbs. of cried ginger, worth, iu this market, ten cents per pound. I have an orchard of 2.000 coffee trees. Sixty of my trees, planted in 1872, are beariog, and are now laden with coffee. June Moore has 1,800 trees, Joe Watson 800, Scott Mason 1,000, and nearly all of ovr coluny are engaged in coffee raising. . Coffee is worth here 18 ceuts is gold, 20 cents in United States currency, ard 22 cents in the currency of Liberia. Other articles rate about as follows: Calico, from 124 to 18 cents per yard ;tobaccv, 40 ceuts per pound; sugar, $4 to $5 per hundred pounds: molassee, 33 cents per gallon; bacon, 22 cents per pound; salted bect, 18 cents per pound; flour, 10 cents per pound ; mackerel, 6 cents each; chickens, 25 cents ; eggs 26 cents; turkeys, $9; ducks, $1. Goud ufilk cows sell at various prices from $25 to $40. I am better satisfied than [ ever wav since emancipation, and atm worth more than ever before. I have three good framed bhoures with shingle roofs, and neat boarding paling aroand my lot. ‘The timber in use here bears a strong res:mblance. to brimstone as to color of the grain, aud cotsequently bas the appropriate name of brimstoue wood. Wild game is plentiful iucludiug the ordi- nary cow, the seacow, deer, squirrels, rmaonkeys, &c. I have seen as many as a thousand moukeys in one drove. The meat of this animal is bighly prized as an article of food. ‘Tell Col. McCorkle for me that within five yeare, if I live, I will be able to send him 4,000 pounds of Liberia coffee, of my own raising, and it is the desire of myself and friends to sell }him our crops and ship direct to him.”’ An Unwholesome Season. The closing days of winter and the early days of spring are very trying to the feeble and sen- sitive and are apt to affect unpleasantly even the more robust and vigorous. Nothing can be more uncongenial to the nerves or more depressing to the spirits than damp, chilling winds, fogs and cold r: ins, and of such unwel- come visitors we have a superabundance at this season. Common prudence suggests, therefore, the propriety of fortifying the system against insidious enemies of health and comfort, and the experience of more than a quarter of a cen- tury points to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as the all-sufficient sanitary safeguard under such untoward circumstances. An accession of vital strength and energy is what is required to meet and overcome the unhealthy elements now present in the atmosphere. This increase of vital power. so neceggary to meet the extraordi- nary drafts which at inclement season makes upon the system and the constitution, can be readily acquired by taking from. two to three doses of Hostetter’y Bitters daily during the winter and Spring months. The nature of this celebrated restorative is well known to the pnb- lic, It is composed of an absolutely pure dif- fusive stimulant, medicated with the extracts and juices of the most effective tonic, alterative, anti-bilious and laxative roots and berbs known to medical ‘ecience. To the combination of these excellent ingredients, in proportions sui- table to the exigencies of enfeebled, languid and diseased systems, the great tonic-alterative owes its efficiency as a preventive and curative. A course of it commenced now, will prevent all danger of fever and ague, rheumatism, or other ailments arising from eold and ‘damp peculiar to the spring months, and also provea safeguard against tne attacks ofdyspepsia and liver com- plaint which so frequeggly oecur at this period of the year. , THE WATT PLOW. 0- _ This celebrated plow has become so gen- erally popalar that the manufacturers are scarcely able to fill the orders made on them. _ We have been fortunate'in getting a sup- ply and are selling from fifteen to twehty a day.

Judging the future by the past, we enter with confidence upon this our new enterprise of separating our Wholesale from our Retail Trade, by having a seprate and distinct House for each ; and in doing so we flatter ourselves that it will not only meet the approval of our numerous customers, but that an “Exclusive Wholesale House” will bring us a large influx of new trade, and of a character not heretofore enjoyed. It must be obvious to every buyer ‘that a strictly “ Wholesale House,” arranged and adapted for that Trade only, with a corps of experienced Wholesale Salesmen, with a Stock carefully selected for that Trade only, and moreover, the avoidance of coming in contact with retail buyers, which we and’ you all have heretofore found to be so irksome, as it fre- quently happens that the retail buyer is your very neighbor, (perhaps your own customer). Such a house, we aseert, must and will com- mend itself to the Trade. Four years ago we advertised that we intend- ed to make Charlotte a wholesale mart and ours “The Wholesale House.” We now havethe proud satisfaction of seeing it an accomplished fact. We now call your attention to the fact that we have converted our suberb store into an ex- clusive Wholesale House, where you can find all lines of goods necessary for a country store, to-wit: Dry-goods, Clothing, Boots, ‘Shoes, Hats, Notions, Groceries, Hardware, Millinery all in complete lines, bought in large quantities and from the very first hands. Our stock is now arriving and will be com- plete about the Ist of September, and will be the largest of any here, the pretensions of others to the contrary notwithstanding.

We are indebted to Mr. Alex. Helper, late of our town, for Saratoga papers. Mr. H. has opened a branch office of the New York Health Lift Co., and will remain at Saratoga the present season. We had the pleasure of a call from Dr. Luckey, our former Representative, yes- terday. He was in good humor, as usual, and highly gratified at the result of the election.

She sang them in a voice unusually strong and clear, and then sank back in her brother’s arms insensible, aud was soon dead. > AN UNPROVOKED Murper.—Nasi VILLE, Aug. 15.—Rwvbert Banks, a negro while standing in front of a saloon at Kingston Springs, Tenn., this evening, was approached by William Killam, white on horseback, who asked him if be wan- ted to shoot with him. Banks replied, ‘No, sir.” Killam replied, “Then I will shoot with you,” avd immediately shot Banks in the abdomen, producing a fatal wound. Killam, who was intoxicated, fled to the woods. The Saratoga wriggle is the latest fash- ionable absurdity adopted by the girl of the period. The Kansas new party favors the elee- tion of President and Vice Presidcut bya direct popular vote. Reverdy Johuson ia talked of as a can- didate for Congress in the First Maryland District. Tt was an old lady in Wake county who when she got hold of one of the Singer sewing machines remarked to the agent, “My religion will be a heap better now.” “Look 'ere now, Salusha,” yelled a Clay county, Missouri, woman to the oldest girl, “don’t bend over that well so far.— You'll fall in there some of these days, aud then we'll have to carry water |” The Ladies attended.the Saratoga races. One woman became go excited iu the race that ehe forgot ber baby which was lying on the ground. A gentleman called her attention to the child. “Oh,” said she, “I forgot all about my baby, but it makes no difference; I expect to have several babies, but I never expect to see another Goldemith Maid.” Fashion at the French seaside rigorous- ly requires :—First, a beach dress; sec ond, a breakfast dress; third, a morning drese ; fourth, an evening dress; and as a lady cannot wear the same dress every morning and evening, there must be sev~ eral of each sort except the beach dress. At least thirty fora month’s stay, and not more than three in a trunk. Cleaveland Banner talka very etheral thusly: “Capt.

HORRIBLE INDIAN CRIME A MAN SKINNED ALIVE, HIS HANDS AMPUTATED, AND HIS HEART CUT OUT. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. |! Omana, Augast 12.—A shocking murder accompanied by torture was perpetrated in a@ lonely spot in Colfax County in this State on Sunday. A number of Indians, suppos- ed to be Pawnees, camped near a hume- steader’s cabin, and two squaws weut in search of food. They caine to the house when the inan was absent and went through it. ia spite of the wife’s remunstrances. Finally they attempted to take away the family provisions, tu which the wife objected. The two squaws beat her over the head.— Just then the husbaud came in, and seeing his wife wounded, took his gun and shot one of the squaws. The other squaw ran to the fodian camp and reported what had been done. Twelve of the Indians then entered the house, captured the homesteader. skin- ned him, cut his hands off and his heart out. This was done in the presence of his wife, A large party of pursuers has left West Puint in search of the Iudians, but it is alimust cer- tain that they will not find tnem.—N, Y.

To be dyspeptic is to be miserable; dyspepsia is the foundation of fevers and all the diseases of the blood, liver, skin and kidneys. Dyspep- sia yields to the virtues of the vegetable ingre- dients in that great purfier of the blood and restorer of health, Dk. WaLkeEr’s VINEGAR BITTERS. 4w [Montpelier Argus.] _ The ctranecs: Wedding on ord. By a strange perversion of legal prin- ciples, it was supposed by our ancestors that whosoever married a widow who was administratrix upon the estate of her deceased husband, represented insolvent, and should thereby possesa himself of any property or thing purchased by the deceased husband, would become an executor de son tort. and would thereby make himeelf liable to answer for the goods of his predecessor. Major Moses Joy became enamored of Mrs. Hannah Ward, widow of William Ward, who died in 1788, leaving an insolvent estate, of which Mrs. Ward was administratrix. To avoid the unpleasant penalties of the law, on the morning of her marriage with Major Joy, Mrs. Ward placed herself in a closet, with a tire-woman, who stripped her of all her clothing, and when ina perfectly nude state she threst her fair, round arm through a diamond hole in the door of the closet, the gallant Major clas- ped the hand of the buxom widow, and was married in due form by the jollicst parson in Vermont. Atthe close of the ceremony the tire-woman dressed the bride in a complete wardrobe :which the Major had provided and caused to be deposited in the closet at the commence- ment of the ceremony. She came out elegantly dressed in silk, satin and lace; and there was kiasing all avound. nena ee Beecher and Davis. Says the Augusta Constitutional-. ist : Amoung the grandand lofty tamblinge of the dazzling ministerial mountebank, Henry Ward Beecher, nothing can be better recalled, at this moment, than bis sermon on ‘he fate of Mr. Davis, the une fortunate President of the Confederacy, when captured and in deadly peril of his life at Fortress Monroe. Here is the con- elasion of Beecher’s long sermon : I speak it with a certain reluctauce, and the thought oftentimes, when it comes even touches me with grief, but I believe that Mr. Davis for example, will be hung. Already the scene rises before me. He is tried; he is convicted; he stands on the scaffold. All nations have watched the sure process of the law; all nations have listened to the charges Inid at his door, all nations gather about the scaffuld. There are some things to plead for him. He is a man of distinguished ability; he has conducted his war with pertinacity and courage; he was the beloved leader of the multitudes of the South, and even now millions of them would shield bim if they could. He has a wife who loves him, and children who cannot understand his crime ; he ie surrounded by a mighty innumerable North, who, the war being over and its hot passions cooled. have no hate and no malice, and nothing more and nothing worse than chastened, sor- rowful indignation toward him. ‘T'hey would release him if they could. If they could forget the dead ; if they were not compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses ; if their bells of victory were not drowned by the bells of mouring ; if they could forget their country ; if they could forget their God, they could give way to their pity for a brother man in his extremity. They hear voices from overy the sea; voices of sympathy for him, voices of pleading; occasional voices of threaten- ing, may be. But nothing avails; he peace; he would not be just; he would be a patriot; he must die. And the axe came down, and the world shudders, and the great traitor is dead. And I claim that a scene and spectacle as that will do more for the stability of the conutry and for the cause of public order than almost any dozen great acts of these last four years. It will take rank among the sublimities of history. It will have a moral dignity and weigh which no magnificent battle we have fought could have. It will en gage the attention of mankind as none of our battles have. It will be more easily comprehended by them. It will be re- bellion and slaverly epitomized and em- bodied in the form and person of their chief man, and then beheaded for their sins. And the people will understand that simple, tragic thing. And it will sink into them; and it will hallow love in their feeling forever more. Let it come then. History waits for it. ‘The greatest work of modern times—our loyal war, I mean—waits for its capstone. Let it be raised to its bed. Not with shouting, but in silence and with tears, if you please. But let it be raised. And in the words of our great martyr, when he wrote the decree which has made him immortal.— “Upon this, our coming sul-mn act of Justice, weinvoke the blessing of Almighty God and the considerate jadgment of mankind.”” Ameu and amen. can’t be spared; he would not consent to].

The deed of self destruction was effected by the young man stabbing him- eelftto the heart with a pocket-knife. He lingered about eight hours, during which time he had the best surgical aid which could be obtained. Mr. Parks had but reeently graduated at the Atlanta Medical Qollege.

GUNIG WEST Mar. Main aes STATIONS. Cotton. Gustave Adolphus, a correspondent of the Chronicle and Sentinel, who has been rumina- ting down in Southern Georgia, and a few miles beyound the Florida line, tells a wonderful story abouta new kind of cotton which he thinks is destined to put all others to flight en 1 revolutionize the entire cotton culture : I rode several miles over the line, toseea new specimen of cotton, and I assure you my |. astonishment when I predict an entire revolu- tion in the present growth of that article, grow- ing out of this Asiatic species, now being raised upon a small scale by Mr. Hyack Bellyminger, at Soap Floating Springs, in Florida, six miles from the Georgia line, Two years since Mr. Hyack received. in a letter from his bro. her-in- law, Mr. Michael Grigie, six seed. They were obtained in the far-famed Cashmere Valley, in Central Asia, two years since—this being the third year of cultivation, resulting in ten acres the present season. I at once suggested a name which was prompted by its similarity to our orange tree, and the owner, Mr. Hyack Bel- lyminger, being pleased with the same, it will hereafter be known as the Asiatic Orange Cot- ton. The cotton tree, having its full growth, is about eight feet high, and will about match in size at the butt end theleg ofan old fashion- ed split bottom chair, tapering gracually to the top, and is of very enormous strength and elas- ticite, and which enables it to sustain the heavy weight of fruitage to which it is subjected. It is planted in hills, fifteen feet equi- distant, to glve room for its spreading branches, which run out on all sides six or seven feet. The leaf is the only feature closely resembling our common plant. I must reserve, however, for another letter much that I desire to say, and speak only of the grown bolls. They resemble very much in size and color, a large green orange, only much larger, and are attached to the limbs by a strong stem, from one to two inches inlength. When open, it contains at the base of the boll in small cells, four or five seeds which might be mistaken for small buck shot. The lint, in picking, leaves the seed in the bur, which, of course, avoids the necessity of ginning, and is thrown, as picked, into packing machines, so that each day’s gathering is com- pressed into bales the same evening. When within one or two hundred yards of this field I asked Mr. M. for a shot gun to kill a few white cranes, as it seemed to me there was an uncom- mon number of them perched about on small trees. “You will not have any use for a gun,” he replied. “What you see are the few open bolls of cotton, and you are not alone in sup- posing them to be our beautiful coast birds ;” and sure enough, nearer Observation proved him correct. ‘he cotton hung pendant from the boll, three to four inches in rolls, as_ large as a full grown Bologna sausage, five rolls to the boll. ‘I looked in amazement, and could acarcely belicve in the reality of what I saw, I asked how much cotton will these ten acres produce. I was answered promptly, one bhun- dred bales, or a bale to each row of fourteen stalks. This, he continued, was the average production last year. I continued by desiring to know how much to the hand could be picked in one day—and was informed for grown men 450 Ibs. of lint (there being no seed,) or one bale, was regarded an easy daily task. Now, gentlemen, if what I have said is true, are we not rapidly approaching a new epoch in cotton culture? Five years will suffice to spread universally over the cotton area of the Sonth this. wonderfully productive species—and ifit should prove lasting and not.subject (as. many new kinds have proven) to deterioration, it would not be unreasonable to estimate the A- merican crop of 1880 at twenty millions of bales—which could be more easily raised and saved than a crop of three millions at the pres- ent time. What mighty changes will necessarily follow, I leave for solution to more fertile im- aginations than my own. One thing is certain —the poor will rejoice over all the earth, when a full suit of cotton clothes can be had at fifty cents. This will be one resnlt—and babies can come along without apprehension as to scarcity of material to wrap them in. ~ JAS.

He was recently appointed by President Grant. Pennington used to meswerize in this country. About the time that Col. Simon Hays of this city kept hotel in the town of Henderson, Peuning- ton stopped in Henderson one day and that night gave a show in the dining room of the hotel. He mesmerized several boys and put them to slecp. ‘‘Now, gentlemen, I want a grown man up here,” said Pen- nington, and he cast his eyes-on Col. Hays and beckoned him to step forward. (Col. Hays is very fleshy and will weigh two hundred) “No sir,” said the Colonel, “T don't believe in the thing, and I don’t want to go.” “The very man I want,” said Pennington, ‘L want aman who don’t believe in it ; come up colonel, come up,” and Pennington continued to beckon, and the crowd began to yell, “Hays.” “Go up, Hays!’ “You're the very man.” and so went Col. Hays. Pennington scated him in a eplit bottom chair on top of a dinner table and then began to wave his hands over his temple, but Col. Hays only smiled and winked one eye at him. At last his eyes got sleepy and he began to doze, when the small boys commenced to titter, but Pennington shook his fin- ger at them and whispered to them, “hush.” Col. Hays finally snored.

Ihe Greatest Respect Manifested for the Deceased. The funeral sermon of the Siamese Twins was preached by Elder Wm. ‘Tur- ner, at White Plains Meeting House, 4 miles south of Mt. Airy, on Sunday, 9th inst. Avery large number of people, and many from a considerable distance, attended the service. Born in Siam, in the year 1811, of poor parentage, they were induced at the age of 18, tocome to this country by a Capt. Coffin, in 1829. During the long voyage the captain taught them to epeak the Euglish language tolerably well. Theic early ycars were spent in exbib- iting themselves in this country and Europe, under the care of different per- sons, from which they accumulated a con- siderable income, which they invested in lands and bonds. Naturally these Twins were intelligent, sprightly and very hospitable at their homes. They married in Wilkes county and afterwards settled near Mt. Airy. ‘They were highly esteemed as good citi- zens and their word was as good as their bond. Much has been said to their detriment without any foundation whatever, and the gencral turnout of the neighborhood to pay them-their last tribute of reepcgt goes to show that where they were best known they were most esteemed. They were considered good business nen and conducted their affuirs with more than usual success. The families of the twins number as follows: Eng had 12 children, 5 daughters and 7 sons. Five dead and seven living. Chang had 10 children, 7 daughters and 3 sons, ‘I'wo of the daughters are dead and 8 living. ‘I'wo of these, a girl and a boy, are deaf and dumb, and were educated at the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and Biind, at Raleigh. ‘The girl, now a young lady, is married to a tutor in the above inetitation, and now resides in Raleigh. The boy, a fine, handsome little fellow, is still going to school. Another daughter is married to a Mr. Bolejack. All the other children are unmarried. The impression that the Twins adhered to their heathen faith, is certainly a mis- take. They never connected themselves with any church, but acknowledged the supremacy of God, and our reconciliation with him through the death of Jesus Christ. Ever since Chang was paralyzed, in mid ocean, on their return from their last tour of exhibition, he was peevish, like most other men would be under like cir« cumstanccs. On the day before their death, Chang was at bis home, it being the last day of their three days’ term at his house; als though Chang was troubled with a dis~ tressing cough, they could not be persua- ded to remain, but went to Eug’s, and experiencing & very unpleasant night, gat up nearly all the time, watched by a servant. Eng, Chang finally laid down and almost immediately fell asleep. A short time thereafter he was noticed as struggling and the family were called and found him dead and Eng awake and perfectly conscious. Mrs. Chang was sent for and arrived a ishort time before Eng died, which was about two hours after his brother.

Have county commissioners the power to assess, levy and collect taxes more than once in a year? ‘All taxes shall be levied at their regular meeting on the first Monday in February.” Bat. Reyv., ch., 37, sec, 8(1.) The fact thata writ of mandamus had been issued agai the commissioners commanding then t assets, levy and collect taxes sufficient to pay off the iudebtedness of the county, could not warrant them in levying taxes in apy manner or at any other time than is prescribed by law. The mandamus must be understood to mean that they shall levy and collect according to the general law governing the same. 4. The constitutional Jimitation and equation of taxation may be disregarded as to the old indebtedness, but be applied in the new indebtness. What Size was Mandkind Once ! The Bible says “there were giante iu those days,” and it was mentions several cases of giants, as the Rephaims, the Anakims, the Emims, the Zonzonims and others. ‘The San Francisco Chronicle says : Profane historians also mention giants; they gave seven fect of height to Hercu- les, their first hero ; and in our days we have seen men cight feet high. The gaint who was shown in Rouen in 1835, measured eight fect some inches. The Emperor Maximin was of that size; Shenkins and Platerus, physicians of the Jast century, saw several of that statare, and Goropius saw a girl was was ten feet high. The body of Orestes, according to the Grecks, was 114 feet (which is doubtless untrue.) The giant Galbara, brought from Arabia to Rome under Claudius Cesar, was near ten feet; and the boncs of Secondilla and Pufio, gatekeepers of the garden of Sallust, were but six inches shorter. Funnum a Scotchman, who lived at the time of Eugeue the Second, of King Scot~ land, measured 114 feet and Jacob le Maire, in his voyage to the Straits of Magellan, reports that on the 17th day of December, 1615 they found at Port De- sire several graves covered with stones, and, having the curosity to remove the stones, they found human skeletons ten and eleven feet long. [These seem to be well-authenticated cases, and there are others, some of which are incredible. ] The Chevaher Scory, in his voyage to the Peak of ‘leneriffe, says they found in one of the sepulchral caverns of the moun- tain the head of a Gaunche which bad cight teeth, and that the body was not less than fifteen feet high. The giant Ferragus, slain by Orlande, nephew of Chalemague, was eightcen feet high. Atioland, a celebrated anatomist who wrote in 1614, says some years before there was to be seen in the suburbs of St. Germain the tomb of the giant Lsoret, who was twenty feet high. January 11th, 1813, masons, digzing near the ruins of a castle in Dauphin, in a field by which tradition had long been called the Giants field, at the depth of eightcen feet discovering a brick tomb thirty feet long, twelve feet wide and eight feet high, on which was a gray stone, with the words ‘“Theutobochus Rex” engraven thereon. When the tomb was opened they found a human skele~ ton entire, 254 feet high, 10 feet wide across the shoulders, and 5 feet deep from the breast-bone to the back. His feet ware about the size each of ox’s foot, and his shin-bone measured four feet. Near Mezarina, in Sicily, iu 1515 was found a giant thirty feet high. His head his tecth weighed five ounces. Near Palermo, in the valley of Mazara, in Sicily, a skeleton of a giant thirty fyet long was found in the year 1848, and another of thirty-three feet high, in 1550 ; and many curious persone have preserved seveal of these gigantic bones.

The When first seen, the water mile and a quarter from its starting point, it disappeared, and the cloud moved mas jestically off, carrying with it thousands of gallons of water which had been drawn from the pond. ‘The latter covering an area of six hundred acres was, in fact, lowered fully two inches. The huge column which joined the ap- per region to the expanse of water below resembled a cone in form, and rotated horizontally with exceeding rapidity. The marvellous speed with which the column turned impressed the beholder immediately with the idea that it was associated with a whirlwind. ‘This was Bat preseatly...af with the property apon him, and farther ceremony bis head was cho} off.

The heavens were brilliant with incessant flashes of lightning after tho spout de- scribed above had disappeared. There was no rushing noise connected with it, as in the case in some instances. The water underneath the clouds just before the spout formed was ina state of great agitation. Waves rolled angrily anda perceptible bulge was seen, As the cloud halted a sort of funnel protruded from it and dropped slowly down, becoming larger as it lengthened, the boarder portion or base being at (he surface of the cloud. When it reached a point about one- fourth the distance between the cloud and the pond the bulge on the surface of the latter rose to meet it, and the two at length joined, when the water from the pond commenced ascending into the cloud, which moved slowly towards the trestle work. ‘I'he waves in the water—all leap- ing and tending towards the spout—and the spout itself continued the vertical mo- tion referred to above.—'he dark out- side of the watery funnel was dark and not well defined, while the centre was muuch lighter, being rather of a bluish cast. This would seem to indicate that the column was partly hollow, the dark por- tions representing the sides. ‘I‘here can be po doubt but that the immense quantity of water which was transferred from the pond to the cloud was literally suck- ed up. The spout finally disappeared, as if it had been drawn bodily up into the cloud, while the latter quietly moved off to parts unknown. Not adrop of rain fell during the occurrence or afterwards. The formation and subsequent motion of the spout are described as having made up a spectacle grand in the extreme. Nothing of the kind was ever before seen iu that section. The strangest part of the phenomenon was the fact that the cloud, so burdened with water, moved off without dispensing any of it in the form of rain in the neighborhood. The following interesting statement was furnished by a gentleman who re- quested Mr. Wm. Phillips, civil engineer, to make the calculation : Area of mill pond. 600 acres ; depth of water diminished, two inches by a water epout which prevailed for about ten min- utes. Tbe superficial area of one acre is 43,560 square feet; the decimal for the depth of two inches is 0.1666 of foots ; hence 43,560x0 16—6966 60 cubic feet is the quantity taken from one acre—and then 6969.60x600 gives as 4,181,760 cubic feet as the whole quantity taken from the mill pond. The cube root of this last is about 161 feet, 80 a cube of that size would nearly measure the quantity of water taken off. This quantity would make a column ten feet diameter, 53,243 feet high—more than ten miles. At 625 pofnds to a cubic foot the above 4,181,760 cubic feet would weigh 261,- 360,000 pounds. —_~-—>- —_ —— The setting of a great hope ia like the setting of the sun.

For two long, @reary weeks we have been the only eval im the huuse. We have had no oue to love ne— none to ca-hug. All alone we went to bed. not to us a word was said.

For the fist few days we stu- died econumy, and boarded ourself. We svun got tired of eating the outside slice of bread ut every meal, and threw the loaf away. and bought crackers. Remembering the difficulty that Brother Beecher bad with his disheloth a few years ago—an aeegunt of which he gave in his miscellany at the time—we resolved not to wash auy dishes, but just put the dirty ones to soak and use clean one.

As the Presi- dent of the Senate of the next Legislature “will be the Lieu’t.

Jadge Cloud, the able bodied Jurist, as Joe Turner would say, was in the city last Monday. We suppose he is makiug ready to contest Jadge Wilson’s right to the position he claims for himself. If there is a decent lawyer in North Caroli- ma, not prejudiced and not hide-bound politically, who will give it as his deliber- ate opinion that Judge Cloud’s time has net already expired, and that he is not Functus officio, we will agree to surrender the right of Jadge Wilson to hold Court and cheerfully submit to Judge Cloud ‘four years to come. On the other hand, if such a lawyer can not te found, we are fm favor of Wilson’s exhausting all the power at his command in carrying into execution the will of the people as express. ed at the ballot box. The people are sovereign and their voice should he heed- ed. Even if Jadge Cloud possessed a technica! claim to the position four years longer, tite fact that the people have de- cided agaiust him is sufficient forus. ‘The past reeord of our Supreme Coart will not allow us to count mucb upon its disinter- estedness, not to say justice and equity ; yet we do not believe that it would dare do #0 monstrors a thing as to attempt to foist Jadge Cloud upon an unwilling people for several years to come. But we shall sce what we shall see. In the mean time, we trust Mr. Wilson will leave no stone ‘@ntarned in the furtherance of-the ends of justice and right, ee We baye heard some gentlemen express ’ the fear that two or three of the new Judges elected will be coutrolled too much by prejudice and passion. We don’t think any of the conservative Judges will * @egrade themselves in that way, but we aseure the public that if such should be the case we shall not hesitate to denounce and ceusure them in stronger terms than we ever denounced poor Logan. Mr. Logan was excusable to some extent on account of his ignorance and general in-~ eapacity, but no conservative Judge can escape censure on that plea. Our new Judges mast make lawyers treat witnesses with more respect than they are in the habit of doing, or there will be some little difficulties to settle in the Court House or out of it. No decent, honest man rhould submit to insalts in the Court House either from Judge or - “lawyer.—Charlotte Democrat. We tully endorse the above from the Democrat. What it says ia true, and the advise it gives is to the point. These re- “marks may be extended to Magistrates also. We have heard >of a few instances where gentlemen have becu insalted by the presiding officcr at a Magistrate's Gourt. ‘Lhere is no porrible justification or excuse for such conduct and it should not be submitted to.

Papers of the State. Several of the more w = : * ~ prominent ones have spoken out in most (emphatic terms in favor ofa Conyention. “"WWe' give to-day several extracts showing the ~ tone of the leadiug journals on the subject as , vxoiar.as they have spoken. The Wilmington 2 Wournal, one of the ablest aud truest Conser- e vative papers in the State, has spoken out mapfully. It points out maoy reasons why we should have a Convention. yet it does not toveh half the arguments that exist in favor of the measure. There has been no paper Yu this State yet that has taken any decided stand against the calling of a Conveution. : There are « few that have expressed doubts "+ \«@@to the propriety of such a move at present & . * a : ~ but'the arguments they have osed amount to ‘nothing, and show, we think a misappre- bensivn of tre whole subject. When we take into consideration the offen- atveness of the present eonstitution, the man- perf its adoption, and the impossibility of re- forw measures ander it, we are astovished that there should be found a man in the State to * ddbbr the propriety of a Conven'ion to have Se changed. If let well enough alone is to be the policy of the Conservative Party, it were ~ etter that it bad utterly failed of victory ‘iv the Just’election. Of them that have much, much “will be expected. The people expect a de- cided change fur the better—they eRe eee factony way. to bring about the expected bud necessary changes in the adininigtration of public affairs. than through a Convention of the people. The Legislative inode of amending the Constitution is entirely too tedious to prove satisfactory or effective at present. “Iumediate action is demaudeéd. We have had sume experience in the attempt to reform by legislative action. The result is a dead fuilore as to the merits of what was dune, that is, the work is worthless even if it is permitted to stand. The time spent on these worthkss amendments, in discassing public priuting and in eschewing the public debt proved tov mach for the large majority of the members of the last Legisiature. Their dead carcasses are left upon a bundred, hattle fields in consequence. Utterly repax diated by the people because of ‘theit do nothing, Jet-well-enongh-slone policy, their sad fate should be a warning to al! succeeding legislators. It will not do to talk aboat sitting still now that we have it in our power to effect something. It is not only cowardly, but ruin- ous. It isanworthy of the leaders of a great party. The people will not tolerate such a policy, but will repudiate the party that en- courages it. It is said that the Rads helped us to gain the victory. and that to call a Convention will drive them away from us again. Such jargon is fit only for the timid, the doubting, and the already de-luded. We deny that the Rads helped us to gain the late victory. The vote will show but little, if any, increase on the Merrimon vote. But suppose they did in some counties help us, is not the Radical party pledged tu @ Convention. In 1871 they declared themselves in favor of a Con- vention, but opposed to calling it except by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. We shall attempt no argument to show the great need of a Cunvention ; we only wish at present to call attention to articles on the subject to be found in another column. It cau not be possible that any considerable number of our people is opposed to this meas- ure. Ou the other hand, the great majority of our people demands it, and they will be satisfied with no excuse, with no pretext. The debt question, the Judical question, the tax question, the suffrage question. and a thousand other questions effecting the vital interesis of the people and the State demand immediate attention. Let the Conservative Party make ready to meet these demaads promptly, vigorously, mauly, or prepare for a waterloo defeat two years hence, for dis- grace, and finally, oblivion. CONVENTION. We hope there ia no prematurity in the expression of the wish that the coming Legislature will call a Convention of the people to make a complete finish of the werk but partially doue by the Legislative process. This is one of the fruits of victory of which the Conseryative party can well take advantage. It responds to a demand of the whole people for arcform in abuses which time aud new habits can never amend, The vote against a Convention in 1871 was not a fair test of popular wish and feeling. It was wauted, and the Constit~ ution of 1868 did call for sweeping re form, even from the republicans. If the popular voice had been free to express itself, if it had uot been suppressed by the fears of being brought in collision with the general government, if threats to sup- press the Convention had not been made, and if promises oi aid from the govern-~ ment had not been believed in, the public sentiment would have been expressed uu- mistakably. The time has past for those bughears to operate. The governmeut has become wiser, it bas better learned to trust tle people. It has learned to distrust its own partizane. It reeogniz:s now, what it sbould have done then, the right of the people to rectify their own iuternal griew ances.

LET US HAVE A CONVEN- TION. With victory comes responsibility for its use. The Democractic-Conservative par- ty hae just elected seven of the eight Cougressmen, six of the eight Judges, and more important still, two-thirds of the members of each House of the General Assembly. Then can there be no doubt as to the power of that party to adminiss a eet eS ter the $ ¢ . 2 ” cratic-Conservative party propose to exe~ cute the great trust confided to itt |. It will not do merely to isay that we propose to administer the government for the best interests of the people of the State. ‘fue people demand, aud pro erly demand somethiug more definite an substantial than mere empty declaration; nor will they longer listen to excuse or pardon delay. The time for excusea and for delays has passed and fall, final action must now be had. ‘There is nuw uo check upon the Democratic party im any policy it may. desire to adopt. Nothing can now thwart its will. If there be obstructing statutes, they ean be repealed; if there be av ob- stracting-eonstitation, it can be changed.

There is no grievanee growing ont of ‘the Con- stitution that the sovereign people in con- vention assembled cannot remedy. Are there any grievances thea? If there be no grievances growing out of the Constitution and beyond the power of the General Assembly to remedy by ordinary legislation, then is the Dewtocratie-Con- servative party a fraud and its whole fife ‘a lie. ‘ , From the adoption of the Constitution, or rather from the day of its imposition upon as by Canby’s bayonets, to the pres- ent time, we have constantly protested in the most solemn manner that under its provisions, peace and prosperity, and good governments are simply impossible, and that to a degree, unequalled in the history of written constitutions, the Radical eon~ stitution of North Carolina ia unjust and oppressive as well inthe provisions it does contain, as in those it does not cOutain. Every day that passes developes some new proof of this. What is plainer now, for instance, than that a Judge should not be coufiucd to his own circuit? Is there a man who doer not see how greatly it would tend to pur- ify the administration of our laws, if our Jndges were required to ride the several circuits in regular tura? And thea too, will it not be an act of simple justice to the white people in the negro circuits to relieve them trom the constant burden of Radical Judges? Is it just, is it gen- erous to forget our white brethren iu counties like Halifax and Craven and Edgecombe and Pitt? Js there an houest man in North Caro lina who thinks a felon convicted of larce- ny or forgery or perjury or other infamous crime, ought to be allowed to vote? And yet until our Constitution shall be changed such felons can vote equally with the best and purest in the land! How many convicted telons are there in the State who vote regularly aud with which party do they vote } Is there a man in the State who thinks a citizen ought not ouly to receive the protection of the government without charge, but also to have a voice in shap- ing its policy without contributing some- thing to its support? Aud yet our tax books show that the negro race has done this very thirg. Ought notevery voter to be required to show his poll-tax receipt before he votes? It can not be done, however, so long aa the present Coustitu tion remains unaltered. ‘I'wo years from now there will bea hot contest ia North Carolina, A Gov- ernor is to be voted for anda President, and we have no time to lose it we would fight that great battle fromm the vantage gronnd that a good constitution, good laws and good govcrament will give us. It will be well to remember too that the Supreme Court of North Carolina, composed of five Radical Judges,.in four ot whom the people have no confidence is now considering the qnestion whether the eight amendmente to the Constitution ratified last year, were legally adopted. Solomon Pool claims before that Court: to be still President of the University for the reason that the amendments to the Constitution authorizing the Legislature to appoint the new Board of ‘I'rustees that turned him out were not constitu- tionally adopted. ‘The case ought to have been decided at the Jave ‘I'erm of the Jourt. It was not decided, but was post- poned antil January Term. If it be trae, as is believed, that the Court has in fact decided that the amend- ments, in spite of their ratification by the people, are not properly parts of the Con. stitution, in what coudition will we find onrselves, ‘I'he debt obligation will still be in force; the census must be taken next year at a cost to the State of at least $250,000; Solomon Pool will still be, President of the University; the State must still go to the expense of having annual sessions of the Legislature; old man Silas Burne will still be Superinten- dent of Public Works.

There are manifold grievances then. And what answer cin we make to the people if we do not call a Convention go that they may get epcedy relief? Ex- cept by Convention no relief can be had for three years, if then. Why then ebould we not call a Covention? Is it because of the expense ? $25,000 will cover every dollar of expense, just one tenth of what it will cost us to take the census! And what is that compared to the great gain we will make in having our government settled at last upon a just and sure foun- dation? ‘There need be no fear that the Constitution will not be e-mposed of North Carolina’s best and purest men.

EK PH. esisnayeesinapaniiiaisbanpingetsaarsiaeeeeresusammemenenss An Unwholesome Season. . The closing days of winter and the early days of spring are very trying to the feeble and sen- sitive and are apt to affect unpleasantly even the more robust and vigorous. Nothing can be more uncongehial tothe nerves or more depressing to the spirits than damp, chilling winds, fogs and cold rains, and of snech unwel- come visitors wé have a superabundance at this season. Cummon prudence suggests, therefore, the propriety of fortifying the system against insidious enemies of health and comfort, and the experience of more than a quarter of a cen- tury points to Hogtetter’s Stomach Bitters as the all-sufficient sanitary safeguard under such untoward circumstances. An accession of vital strength and engygy is what is required to meet and overcome ‘the unhealthy etements now present in the atntosphere. ‘This increase of vital power, so:ngceasary to meet the extraordi- nary drafts which an inclement seasun makes upon the system ‘and the constitution, can be readily acquired by taking from two to three doses of Ho-tetter’s Bitters daily during che winter and Spring months. The nature of this celebrated restorative is well known to the pub- lic. It is composed of an absolutely pure dif- fusive stimulant, medicated with the extracts and juices of the most effective tonic, alterative, anti-bilious and laxative roots and herbs known to medical science. To the combination of these excellent ingredients, in proportions sui- table to the exigencies of enfeebled, languid and diseased systems, the great tonic-alterative owes its efficiency as a preventive and curative. A course of it commenced now, will prevent all danger of fever and ague, rheumatism, or other ailments arising from cold and damp peculiar to the spring months, and also provea safeguard against tne attacks ofdyspepsia and liver com- Plaint which so frequently occur at this period of the year.

The Greenville Register says of the perfor- mer : Signor Silvano concluded his wonder~ ful eutertainment for three nights only, in James Hall of our town on Weduesday. The Siguor’s gift as a magician, is cers tainly rare, and we do not. hesitate to say that some of his feats are far superior to any we have ever witnessed and justly deserves to be remembered among the first performers of the world as a ventril~ oqnist and magician. The distribution of gifts was upon the most fair and im- partial conditions we have ever seen, and many of our citizens will long remember Signor Silvano’s wonderful entertainment and if he should return, as he speaks of dving, we are confident that our citizens will give him their most liberal patron- age, The Growing Crop in Rowan. In company with Capt. W. H. Craw- foid, we took a flying trip through the Southern part of Rowan a few days ago; aud to our great astonishment we found crops—corn and cotton—in many places as fine and promising as great yield as are to be found in the more widcly talked of Mississippi valley. Not more than two miles from this place, on tho farm former- ly owned by the Hon. H.C. Jones, &r., owned and cultivated by W. H. Crawtord, Esq., we saw cotton that will now turn out from 200 to 400 pounds of lint to the acre—much that will reach the latter amount. ‘This farm was once abandoned becanse of the poyerty of its goil. We passed through on Capt. C’s. farin some two orthree hundred acres of growing corp and cotton, and we have rarely seen a better cultivated crop or one promising a We passed on and luxur- more abundant yield. from the ious growing crops in the vicinity of “Como,” crossed the Rail Road came out near the Poor House, and through Rabbitsville: This is a settlement by the colored people made right in the woods and some of the houses ean not be zeen 50 yards away, the bushes being so dense around them. We don’t know the number of the inhabitants, but they are sufficiently numerons to boast of a charch and other pndlic buildings. We suppose the place will be incorporated before loag and the Legislature will ba petitionee to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquor within a reas- onable distance of its suburbs. Passing on through Rabbitsville we soon anived at the old Jack Garner farm, where we were again delighted with the sight of as fine growing corn as can be produced in any country. The crop on both the bottom and upland was splendid, and in some places will run fifty bushels to the acre so close ‘‘as never was.” Enroute home we passed out by Mr. J. W. Fisher’s, Shiloh Charch, T. W. Haynes’, Eeq., Mr. Alex. Brown’s and others. The evidence of good farming whiclt we had enjoyed throughout our trip was not lessened when we struck the farms of these gentlemen. We saw fine com at Mr. Haynes, and such other evidences of improved farming and thrift as are well calculated to make oar people proud of, and satisfied with old North Carolina. As far as we were able to observe, there are many evidences of improvemeat on the old methods of culti- vation going on among the farmers. We noticed improved plows and otlrer impli- ments about the farms, a tendency to clean up bottoms, to cut ditches, to save manure, make comfortable quarters for stock, &c., &e. The adyent of these things prognosti-~ cates great good, we think. We were really surprised at the skill, energy, and enterprise shown by Capt. W. H. Craw- ford as the manager and conductor of large farming interests. He his not only deserved, but achieved great success in this line. Every portion of his farms gives evidence of superior, successful management, and if no misfortune befalls him his efforts will be rewarded with most abundant yields this year. But crops were generally looking well. We noticed that cotton was slightly saffering for raio, and was dropping forms or aquares, When we shall have visited other farms, wecan speak with more accaracy as.to who is in our opinion the best farmer ; for the present, Mr. Crawford stands at the head of the list as far as we hgve seen. splendid farms Se eta eee me et tae ee ee a + The Salem Chareh ‘Bunday dance was large, the dinners - sumptaous, andthe placcs selected delightful.

This year he gaine 2760 on his own majority two years ago, and leads Mr. 8S. D. Pool at least 1500 in the Dis. trict. What have his slanderers to say now ?

Wittkowsky & Rintels have moved into their new quarters. ‘They now have two large and fine stores, both of which look decidedly business like just now. eee The Way to Do It,—In our trip through the country the other day, we were gratified to see that the members of Sholoh Grange are erecting a handsome frame building at Shiloh Church, for the purpose of holding their meet- ings in, and also to be used as a school house in which to educate their children. This is the sort of enterprise that tells in a community, and we hope to see the example followed by other Granges throughout the county and State. If the grangers were to do no other good than to improve the comfort of their school houses, this would be an argument in favor of them as an order ; for there have been many poor children sacrificed by exposure during the winters in uncomfortable, cold and damp school houses. Rot there are many evidences that the Grangers are duing good; and we predict that in less than two years there will bea marked improve- ment in the general management of the farm, in the stock of the farmers, and in the tone and temper of the society of the country. We say there are evidences of the coming of these things, and they are to be attributed to the good influences exerted by the Grangers. MARRIED. At Moorsville Iredell County, N. C.

Unless we submit tu every aggression and outrage we are accussed of provoking the ne- groes to war. When they demand mixed schools, social equality and amalgamation, we must remain quiescent or we provoking a war of races. When they propose to subject. the whole south to the dismal negro domination of South Carolina, we must fold our hands in submission, or we are provoking a war of races. When they insist on elbowing vs from the polls, taxing our pruperty to the point of confiscation, tilling our offices, obtructing themselves in our hotel beds and tables, we must not resist, or we are provoking a war of races. We can tell the radical ruffians who are thus seeking to force us to the lowest abyss of hu- man degradation, that the southern white peo- ple, being the rightful owners of the soil, the settlers of the country, the founders ofits civili- zation and the payers of its taxes, intend tu be its rulers also. Such raffianly journals as the Philadelphia Press may throw out threats in cataracts ; we are not going to be slaves to the negro race, and, if death isto be the alterna- tive, we are only fit to be slaves if we are not willing ‘o accept it. ‘That miserable sheet has the impudence to talk of the “mercy which the north has displayed to to the south since the war Ifthat is “mercy,” what is vengence ? If the conquerors did not send our leading men to the scatiold, it was simply because they did not dare to face the public opinion of the civ- ilized world by committing such an unparallel- ed crime. What else have they left the south but a bare existence which they have done everything in their power to degrade, impov- erish and} make miserable. Let the political hounds, whose chief leaders are Beechers and Tiltons, dismiss the idea that their yelping and barking can excite aught but contempt and defiance.

Diseases The properties of Dx. WALKER's VixkGar Brrrers are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. f Grateful ‘thousands proclaim Vriv- BG4Rk BITTERS the most wonderful In- vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which aro so prova- lent in the valleys of our groat rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Llinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- gas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tribytarics, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably se during 8ca- sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- Tangements of the stomiich aud liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. ‘There is no cathartic for tho purpese equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERS, as thoy will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid mattet with which the bowels aro loaded, at the same time étimulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR Bitrers. No epidemic can tako bold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Tead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad ‘Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the {Icart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, aro tlre offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guaranteo of its merits than a lengthy advertise- ment.

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters havo no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Discases.—Persons en- aged in Paints aud Minerals, such as lumbera, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advanco in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard ‘against this, take a dose of WALKER’s V1N- mo eakin Dict or D iseases, Eru tions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rhenm, Blotches, Riots Pisin Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worme, Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors aud Diseases of the Skia of whatever name or nature, are litcrally dug up and carried out of the system in o short tiine by the use of these Bittore. - Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No oor of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelminitics will free the system frum worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting throngh the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul ; your feelings will ee when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. H. McDONALD & CO., and Gen. Agts., i Patter Washin CTs Sold by ali Druggists and Dealers. i.

The report of the Veterinary Department of the Privy Council Office shows that glanders increase every year, and furtber confesses that the official returns are far trom giving a true indication of the num- ber of cases. In London it is very wide- ly spread, and some of the Durham collicries seem to have suffered frightfully. On one of them a miner bas succumbed to the disease, having been inoculated by washing his hands in a cisternat which an affected animal had drunk. If the disease be allowed to continue unchecked we shall certainly hear of the loss of more human life.

The delinquents are the wife of a colonel at present serving in India and a Free Chureh missionary. The lady, who is said to be highly accompliah- ed and of prepossessing appearence, had resided with ber husband for some years in India, and shortly after the birth of her fifth child had come to Edinburgh and boarded herself and children with a respectable family in a village in the vic- inity. In order apparently to further the education of her eldest boy, she ens gaged a Free Church divinity student as tutor, with whom, it appears, she became very intimate. Ultimately she removed from her lodgings in the village, and took up quarters nearer the residence of the tutor, DBy-and-by the student received an appointment as missionary to a station in an important town in tne north, which he had not long accupied before he wae followed by the lady. The intimate rela- tions and frequent communications which took place between the parties became the subject of talk among the gossips of the town; but nothing of a scandalous nature was suspected until it was rumored that the lady and missionary had left the town on the same day for the south. In- quiry was, of course, made by the friends of the parties, who were traced to London. It is said that they baye gone to America but nothing has yet been definitely ascer- tained in Edinburgh as to their wherea-~ bouts. The five children have been left behind. It is said that the lady will have £700 in her own right in the evept of certain circumstances occuring. It ia also said that the husband of the lady will arrive in Edinburgh about the begin- ning of next month, and that the case will then likely come before the law courts. The lady is said to be about thirty-five of age, and the missionary is reported to ral years dgo"I°Was travel avery intelligent Kansas stocl In the course of a conversation he -rempar- ked that in the early settlement of tbat State-he had suffered much, as all. early settlers always do in the West, from this ‘disease.

Being among some.of the Indians south of that State, he came across a French- man who called himself a doctor. ‘This man advised him to get an ounce of cam- phor, all in one piece, if possible, sewing Ing it up in a small cloth bag, hanging it round his neck with «a tape,..so it ‘would come at the bottom of the sternam ‘or breast bone, and securing it there with another tape round the body, to keep it in place. This, he said, would all evaporate in a week or ten daya when he must get another and use it in thesame way. Two ounces thus used, costing 20 ents, would cure, be declared, the worst case of ague so it would never come back.

Oe INFIDELITY.—Infidelity is an eyil of short duration. “it has” as a judicious writer observes, “no individual subsistence given it in the system of prophecy. It is not a beast, but a mere putrid excrescence of the papal beast, which, through it may diffuse death through every vein of the body on which it grew, yet shall die along with it.” Its enormities, as we have late- iy seen ina neighboring kingdom will hasten its overthrow. it is impossible that a system, which by villifying every virtue, and embracing the patronage of almost every viceand crime, wages war with all the order and civilization of the world ; which, equal to the estab- lishment of nothing, is armed only with the energies of destruction, can long retain an ascendency. It isin no shape formed for perpetuity. Sudden in ite rise, and impetuous in its, progress, it resembles a mountain torrent, which is loud, filthy, and desolating ; but, being fed by no perennial spring, ia soon drained off, and disappears. By permitting, toa certain extent, the prevalence of infidelity Providence is preparing new triumphs for Religion. —R. Hall. [From the Corpus Christi (Texas Neuces Valley.} The Hanging of Two Murderers in Corpus Christi—One of Them Married on the Night Before His Death. On Friday the sccond act in the trage- dy of the Pencscal murderers closed, and two of the murderers paid the forfeit of their lives to the laws of the country. One of the persons claimed to have taken was prescut and took a ehare of the stolen goods ‘lhe other was active in the out- rage, he has admitted to being engaged in several other murders, amoung them thase of Mr. Murduck, Hatch and Crock- er. A strange ceremony, and one almost unknown in the annals of crime, was that of the marriage of Hypolita Tapia to bis former mistress while standing, as it were, witb the rope around his neck. Tho wo- man, Trinidad Bayestero, has long been living with Hypolita, and was the mother cf several of his children. ‘To have them legitamized as far as possible, she induced Hypolita to consent to a marriage, which he readily did. Soon Thursday evening a large number of bis relatives and friends, and those of the woman, assembled at tho jail, and were admitted to an interview with tha condemned. The priest soon came. Trinidad is an ordinary looking woman, with a fivesmonths old child in her arms, and was dressed in a common calico dress, with the never-absent black shaw! thrown about her shoulders. The interview between her and Hypo- lita affected both greatly. The Rev. Father O. Juillett officiated, amid sur- roundings in the highest degree dramatic and solemn. Under the sentence of death for the commission of a terrible murder, and within a short twenty-four hours of his doom ; within a jail, at one portion of which stood the dread machinery that was to launch him into eternity; with witnesses compossed of his sorrowing and weeping ralatives and his companion in crime, doomed at the same time to suffer death with him ; manacled and in chains, this man stood to take unto himself that holiest of all things—a wife ! the great events of life—marriage and death—under such circumstances ! Hypolita, during the ceremony, pre~ served a calm, collected demeanor and made all necessary responses ia a clear, firm, voice. Not so ‘l'rinidad, who barely preserved sufficient command of herself to go through the ceremony. ‘he mar- riage concluded, the parties present were told that the hour had come to close the jail for the night, aud they must part.

Tbe people forced the person who was guilty to swear against me ; but it is all right—good-by. Davila had nothing to say. He stood very still, with his eyes cast down, evi- dently communing with himself. The drop fell a series of heart-rending sereams were raised in the crowd.

Dear WATCHMAN :—There is a deep and widely-disseininated prejudice agaiust strong writing and thinking—-in other words, against decision of character— existing among a class of our countrymen of whom more sensi- ble and hearty views of the realities of life might be expected.. Common and conyen- ient as it may have been to declaim against the evils of party-spirit—cheerfully, admis- sible as inust be the fact of its baneful in- fluence, Ido most decidedly object to the confusion of the terms decision and bigotry so as to make them mean one and the same think. Itisapity for these men that they are not well enough acquainted with history to kuow that this old world owes more to its earnest men than to all others—that there ig not a syllable of good in it which has not first fallen from the lips of its partisaus. Just before the flood there was a pitiful plenty of these wise-acres, who were more than convinced that Noah was a blessed old fool for lugging so much timber together, making such vast preparation, and rendering himself so uneasy about that little warning which they were pleased—yea, took a pride and glory in treating with fashionable indif- ference. Take care. if that little Civil Rights measure passes the House, if some folks who think there are no snakes here no more than in Ireland, don’t see a ‘sarpiut” fifty feet long! Take care, when the dam breaks up ahead ! Some people have no capital whatever but indifference. It is their trade—their meat and bread—the vade mecum of their exis- tence. What days and months and years haye they spent in learning to practice it to the yery point of artistic perfection! What seas have they compassed—what mountains have they climbed to put on the sardonic smile in such an indubitable and irresistable way that we must acknowledge! Whata glorious compensation is that smile for the lack of brains! Truly hath the poet said :— If. Ignorance is bliss, ’Tis fully to be wise! Allthat they lack in knowledge or nerve-furce it is their sage policy to as- sume as worthless and ridiculous. They would establish upon earth a Paradise of Fools—set a premium upon sottishness, in- dolence and ignorance, and blot the vames of Newton und Franklin from the records of time. But, seriously, I wouldn’t give a fig for a man who has only two strings to his fiddle —one, a smiling “I don't know,” ard the other a scarcastic’”’ I don't eare.”’ He is ut- terly unprincipled and unreliable. In times of trial and difficulty, he is no more to be counted on than the passing wind. He is no more to be called a friend than the mists of the valley are to be mistaken for the stone palaces of some Eastern monarch. I had much rather a man had suine out-and- out mean and devilish tricks than to see him always carefully cloaked in this ever- lasting innocence—this hypucritical uncon- cern—this no-party nothingness. I have a inillion times more respect for an honest Rad than for the selfish, suspicious creature who ‘don’t know how to vote and don’t care to kvow.’? I would prefer living iu a com- munity of heathens to being surrounded by covert enemies to light and knowledge— cattle who trample all good under their icy hoofs and down intu the miserable inire of their idiotic disdain.

Hi. ——_ ~~ The Covention Question and the Call of 1871. Some of -our friends seem to be afraid to trust the people of North Carolina with the privilege of changing their Constitution. They fear, they say. in substance, the Conservative party and its . principles and-its practices have.so slight a hold upen the eonfidence and affections of the people that the opening up to them of the earliest opportunity to relieye themselves of confessed burdens in a confessedly legal way, may have the effect of destroying the supremacy of that party. We have no such fears, but are perfectly willing to trust the people the management of their own affairs. But even if we did ap- prehend danger to the Conservative party we would still think it the imperative duty of that party to advocate the call of a Con- vention by the Legislature at the earliest possible moment, for the reason that it is the right of the people, the inalienable inherent right of the people. to manage their own affairs. The Conservative party has no right, nor bas any other party any right to have any end in view but the good of the State, or to seek tu gain any advantage distinct from that of the State. Ifthe true mission of the Conservative party in North Carolina is sim- ply to carty elections without gaining any- thing thereby save the glory of the thing, we confess much disgust, fur we have hith- erto been simple enough to value victories meinoly by their fruits. The present Constitution is a nuisance and grossly outrages the people in their dearest rights and every body knows it. It cannot be changed by ordinary legislation, even if every member of the Legislature favored the change, ard every body knows it. Extra- ordinary legislation must be resorted to, such that cannot be perfected until three long years shall have passed away, unless a Convention be called. Why then, should we hesitate to calla Convention, unless we are willing to trust the people with the framing of their own constitution? And what is a legal Convention that it should be feared ? It is nothing i1 the world an asseinblage of the people’s agents, duly appointed according to law.

Vanes, the Conservative candidate for Congress, received 700 or 800 majority ; yet, Purnell, the Rad. candidate for Super igtendent of Public Instruction, received a majority over Pool, the Democratic candi. date, and the county elected one Rad and ove Conservative to the Legislature, vir tually voting berself no representative in the Legislature, as the Conservative will kill the vote of the Rad. in that body, and vice versa. If Buneombe could vote for Parnell, why not for any Radical, how- ever odious, in the State? The other eounties in the West did nobly. a ee tH While conducting the Examiner in 1869, we were the first to speak out fn adyoeacy of a Convention of the peo~ ple to rid ourselves of the present yankee- devised Constitution, to settle the public debt, to require voters to show their tax receipt before voting. and to do many othe: needful things, and feeling confident that the same absolute necessity exists for it, we shall offer our readers no excuse for urging the importance of the measure at this time. Now is probably the most favored opportunity we shall have for securing a Convention for a long time, and the people who are most deeply in- terested should demand it of the iucoming Legislature. ~—>-____—— Who ia the Sheriff of Wake county is now the question exciting the denizens of our State capital. It seems that Tim Lce’s friends have discovered that he, and not Col. Dunn, is elected Sheriff by about 8 votes. The report made and sworn to by the Com- missioners from one of the wards of the city, read 415 when it should have read, (say Lee’s friends) 465. If it should turn out, after careful examination, that an error has been committed, and that Lee really received the vote claimed for him, we can not well see how his right to the position to which he has been chosen can be invalidated by the sworn return of the Commissioners. Right is right, and we say if Lee has been legally elected, Jet him hold antil be is debarred on other grounds. And there are others. ao --OC:*~—‘“‘=:S~—S WHAT DO THEY MEAN P The oppositioa to a Convention seems that the measure may in some way fail before the people. In other words, the people are not to be trusted. Bevause the negroes and scalaw and carpet- baggers opposed and ditusicd the Con- ventidn move in 1871, it is not wise to run the risk of having thew cefeat it again, quoth the prophets. ‘The Conservative Party must be kept in power, even if it effects no good. However much a Cons vention is needed ; however much reform measures are demanded by the people; however essential to the prosperity of the State bold and energetic action may be, nothing must be done if it will in any way jeopardize mere partisan triamph. Such is really the gist of the arguments ueed in opposition to a Convention at present What will the people think of party leaders, who boast of uo higher mission or purpose than self aggradizement? What is @ party worth that bears no fruits} Are we t@keep it up merely that the more favored of its members may enjoy the spoils of office ? ‘This seems to be the idea. Allshe newly elected offi¢e~holders will of chburse oppose a Convention. It will pot do to jeopardize the prospects of Oon- aervative aspirants. ‘I'he party must be kept wp for their benefit, and no risks run to better the condition of the people or to relieve them of a most unsuited and op- pressive Constitution. The fact is the people want a Conven- tion—their most vital interests demand it. “But the politicians, the hungry office- hunters, the timid, the shakey, and the polfey men say no—say the people shall not have their way ; that they (the policy mea) have a chance now to hold on to the condoning the erimes of Radicalism, quiet- ly submitting to their bayonet imposed Constitution, &c., and they intend to bave their way. If this is not what the argus ments in opposition to a Convention mean, what do they mean ? ——-—_—_~~>o—_—_-_-— Durham, N.0., bas 13 tobacco fac- tori¢s, and ships about 250,000 Ibs. of smoking and chewing tobacco every month. This the most active and en- ing of our metropolitan subarban agi ai most especially it is wide awake on the tobacco question, it being the greatest tobcco market in the State. At W. P Blackwell’s smoking tobacco Pein factory there are 120- i, -daily 50" pennds eS oot Iba. per,day, Mr. Blackwell is now making arrangements to erect a new factory which will be a mammoth building—he wants to have the largest tobacco factory, in the world. ‘This building is already contracted for, and will be erected on the ground now oceupied by his present factory. The dimensions are 123 by 127 feet, five stories high, and will admit of a capacity for the manufactare of 155,000 pounds of tobacco per day.— Exchange. There was but one tobacco factory at Daurbam in 1865. The others have all gone ap since the war. Why & it that we can’t have some manufactories started here? We hear complaiuts every day on our street that basiness is dull ; that trade is fall- ing off; that money is scarce; that the Mechanics are moving away, &c, &e. These things will not be improved by com- plainings, by sitting idle—by faultfinding; but they can be by energy, enterprise, in- dustry. The establishment of manafac~ tories will dispel the gloom that surround us. Such institutiona will keep our money at home, our mechanics at home, revive trade and make times bright and lively. Let it be tried. ——___—_~- bo Interlopers and Rings. Tbe men who build Rail Roads, Canals and Ships—we mean the men who furn- ish the money, the labor and the brains to produce these things, and to build up towns and cities, very rarely, if ever, de~ rive any advantage from them ; that is to say, they hardly ever get any thanks for their efforts, and if these institutions or corporations have auy favors to dispense, ninety-nine times out of every handred they are bestowed upon those who have had no hand io their creation and have done nothing whatever to deserve such favors, uuless it be a disposition to boot- lick such as may have control. Look for instance at the men who built our Rail Roads, the Stockholders, the men who furnizhed the money, and labor. It would seem that t! ey shoald be the men to con- trul these public works, but not so.— The Rail Roads for the most part have fallen into the hands of strangers, men who have come into possession by means mostly unfair—who have bought up the interest of the Stockholders, (those who have any interest at all,) at ruinously low figures, having taken advantage of the misfortunes which have fallen upon our people the last few years and thus come into possession of the property* of the builders at trifling costs. Those who have not been deprived of their interest by stress of circumstances in thia way, have no control, or next to none, in the management of thier work. ‘They have been ruled out; their counsels are not heeded in the management, and their final absorption and destruetion by the ring is but a question of time. Very soon all the money, rights and iufluence of the stock- holders will have been swallowed up by strangers, interlopers, Rail Road Rings. Not-vuly so, but the State’s interest, if not already beyond redemption, will go like- wise. It remains to be seen what the in~ coming Legislature will do, or can do to deliyer the public property out of the hands and from ander the control of strangers, interlopers, Rings. What the Legislature can’t do to correct these evils, the people may at the ballot-box. STAY AT HOME. It is quite evident that nearly every person who leaves North Carolina in search of a better home, would return here after a few years’ ead experience, if he could come back and re-occupy the old quarters, resume possession of the old homestead ; but the difficulties in the way are.many and such as can not be overeome. The greater numbers are anable to come, having expended all their money in the out-trip and for other purposes. If they have money enough left to come back on’ they are unable to repurchase the old Homestead, and this operates against their coming. We do not know a single fami ly, or individual for that matter, that has left this seetion of the State since the war that would not gladly return if the old place and comforts left could be resumed. Goodly numbers bave returned and taken any place or position they could get, after expending all their worldly means travers- ing the country in quest of a better State to live in, but never found it. Frequently people go away to new countries, and becoming disappointed and lonely, they set about trying to persuade their friends whom they left behind, to sell out here and join them there. Several instances of this sort occur tous. The parties persuaded away by the extrava~ gaut letters of their friends, returned, however, but after being ruined and dis- heartened for life. Such is the experience of ninety-nine hundredths who have allow ed themselves to be deceived by the idea that they can better their coudition by going West or South. It is therefore as- tonishing that sensible people will con- tinue to be deceived and prevailed upon to leave North Carolina. ‘There have been as many fortunes made io N. C,, as in any State in the Union of the same number of inhabitants. There is no sec- tion of country under the aun better adapt- ed to the production of everything essen- tial to the support and comfort of man. Our soil is of a character most easily im- proved when worn. And taking into contideration the advantages of climate, soil, water, schools, charches, &c., it is almost impossible for a North Carolinan to better his condition by going away. ‘can effect no adjustuncat of the public debt - si j : meeps ones epee ty The.gubjoined we.take from the Ral: eigh Urescent, and from what we know of; Mr. Strong we fully endorse it. If Mr. Strong should be selected speaker, he will compare favorably with any that has ever been chosen in the State; Ool. Geo. V. Strong is better known than any other of our representative. As a lawyer of long experience and great ractice, he has a reputation that makes is name familiar iu every part of the State. He is a fine orator, a laborious worker and a true patriot. Wake could bave chosen no abler representative. He entered actively into the canvase and by his extraordinary exertions made oar old eounty so hot for the Civil Righters that he gained six hundred voters notwith- standing the baneful influence of the city, state and federal patronage which was} need against us. ‘We have much to thank him for be~} cause of bis efforts to redeem our county , endeavors .8 because he merited success Because of his recognized ability, we expect him to exert a considerable iuflu- ence in the Assembly. Indeed his name has already been suggested by some who know bis fitness for the position, in con- nection with the Speakership of the House. Should he be chosen to preside over the deliberations of that body, it will be a handsome, compliment to” Wake-count and a just return for the service of Col. Strong in the late canvass. It would be a proper acknowledgement of his exertions, as well as a happy result of our great poli- tical victory in this county. He would discharge the duties of Speaker, we are assured, satisfactorily to all, and credita~ bly to the State. ————_+<bo—__—_——_——_ The Wilson Advance says: ‘When the State debt has been compromised and arranged and other remedies applied that are in the power of the Legislature, and the people shall call for other ckanges in the organic law, then will be time enough to agitate the question of a Convention.” We would like for the Wilson Advance, and the other papers that favor the Leg» islative mode of reform, to tell bow the Legislature is to scttle the State debt satisfactorily—to give us some plan of settlement—to enlighten us as to how many of the bond-holders will agree to any plan the Legislature may adopt. They talk learnedly about the Legislature eettling the public debt, yet they give as no plan—make no suggestion as to how it is to be done. We want a reason for the faith that’s inthem. Ifthe Legisla- ture had not already expended the greater part of three sessions and thousands of the people’s moncy in trying to settle the publie debt of the State, there would be some reason in talking about that body’s compromising and arranging the debt question. But we think {t has heen suffi- cieutly demonstrated that the Legislature that will be apt to prove satisfactory or lasting. Why then waste more time and money in the attempt, when we have it in our power to calla Convention to do the work effectually aud finally 4 ‘The above plea against a Convention is really laughable, when we remember that the two last Legislatures have been large- ly Conservative, and that notwithstand~ ing this fact, they were unable to remedy by legislative action the many evils im- posed by the present oppressive Constitu- tion. They were anxious to give the people relicf, aud made many earnest and honest efforts to do so; but after wasting weeks and months, and expending thou- sands of the people’s money in debating measures of reform and relief, they were forced to abandon them. Why ? because the present yankee-devised and bayonet- enforced Cunstitution stood in the way. This is all admitted. It is agreed on all hands the present Constitution is utterly unsuited to our wants; that it stands in the way of legislative reform; that our people have been and are still suffering every imaginable inconvenience, injustice and burden by reason of its unjust and over-exacting provisions ; yeu it must not be changed spedily : it must be changed, but we must be slow about it; we must take time, and patch it up by degrees— eovering ap or erasing a line or provision here and there as it may suit the whims of such members as may be induced to vote that way. Every one at all acquaint- ed with parliamentary usage knows how difficult it is to remodel a document in this way. It is exceedingly difficult, and with the present tempor of our. people, it will be impossible to bring about the changes which should be made at once, in a life time. Farthermore, there is no evidence that we shall havea wo-thirds majority in the Legislatare for many years to come after the next one passes away: we feel confi- dent that we will not, unless a Convention ig called. The existence of the Conser- vative party in this State depends upon the action of the next Legislature. CELEBRATION, A celebration, of the different Schools in- cluding Mr. R. G.

Mr. Watshorasbeing pregent de- livered a Temperance lecture, after which the Rey. Mr. Boyd made some very appro- priate remarks. Then, .an opportunity was extended tu all who desired to join the Tem- perance Society. The result of which was quite a.nuinber joined. During which time Mr. R..G. Poston delivered: a very spirited and entertaining Epilogue. Then the audi- ence after vocal and instrumental music be- ing dismissed at the’stand, quite a number joined in a march from the stand to theschool rooms. ‘Then Rev. M1, Wetmore and those who joined the Society repaired to the school room, to organize, and elect officers, &c. The officers elected were as fullows, to-wit: Rev. Mr. Boyd, Chaplian ; Jos. A. Hawkin. Esq., President; Dr. J. G. Ramsay, Vice- President; Mr. R. G. Poston. Secretary - Mr. John Foard, Financial Society; Mr. J. L. Moore, Treasurer; Mr. John A. Wilhelm, Conductor; Mr. Jas. H.

Mr. Wetmore installed the officers elected after which the audience was again finally disiniss- ed with a benediction by Rev. Mr. Wetinore at quite a late hour, in the day, all appeareut- ly in good spirits as if they had enjoyed high- ly the day, and felt amply compensated for the time they had sacrificed from their various avocations: To sum up the whole, we consider the proceedings of the day quite a success even beyoud the expectatious of all present and that they speak higbly in commendation of all those who participated. In connection with the above we would further add, that at noon according to an- nouncemeat there was a ineeting of the citi- zens of the district, to consult as to the pro- priety of erecting a new and more commodi- ous building for the fartherence of education &c., in the district, which meetiug resulted in a committee of investiga‘ ion being appoint- ed, who subnitted a subscription list to the citizens the result of Which was the sum of $100 was subscribed in a hour or so. ie FRIENDS. ANOTHER CLERICAL SCANDAL.—De- velopments in the social world bave sud- denly burst forth, which, when they come to be generaily known, will cause almost as many brvasts to ache, and quite as gen- eral dismay, as the Beecher scandal. ‘he offending party io this instance oceupies an ecclesiastical position of more respon- sibility and greater exaltation than does the pastor of Plymouth church. In this case there can be no doubt about the char- acter of the offence. It is one that a hus- band can neither “pardon nor condone,” and will not admit of compromise or ad~ jostment by mutual friends. On the con- trary, the matter will be brought into the evurts of Chicago by an action for divorce. ‘The lady involved in this painful scandal is a woman of wealth and cultivation.— Hitherto she has stood-high in eocial cir- cles, and has borne a spotless reputation. Her amours coming to the knowledge of her husband, a separation ensued, and, pending the proceedings already instituted, the lady is employed -in the capacity of a governess in a wealthy family at Hyde Park. She speaks the French language, which is her nativatongue. Her husband is a prominent ipsurence man in La Salle etreet. The gentleman, not very many years since, transféfred his business to Chicago, where he has been unasually successful in the accumulation of wealth. An inscrutable Providence, which directs the affairs of men, soon after the removal of the geutleman and his wife to this city, ruled that the clergyman should soon after follow, and the intimacy, once begun, was continued until the evidence of gailt came to light, which hasieast a blight upon a happy home and ‘tattished the glittering fame of an otherwise most noble life.

Cow-Penning.---The Commissioners have thought proper to enforce the ordinance requiring the owners of Cows to pen them at night thas keeping them off the pavement, and the usual cry of disapprobation and dis- gust is raised. The question, we think, to be cunsidered in all such cases, when the public weal or security is not in the way, is, will more of ourcitizens be accommodated by the enforcement of such au ordinange than will be treonvenienced ? If in the affirma- tive, let the law be enforced. If in the neg- ative, let it be dispensed with. Our people haye no taste for superfluous city airs, and they will not quietly submit to them, unless there is good reason why they should be in- dulged. Incredible !—A visitor to a pleasure resort the present seazon declared that the same chicken leg was brought to him five days in suecestion, When asked how he knew it, he said he notiched it with his knife on the firat day. A friend who knew his great f.ndness for fried chicken expressed a serious doubt about a piece of chicken falling into his plate and being deft in condition for another appearance on the table; but the reply was “It took me five days to masticate the piece I notched out.” Babes in the woods. A few weeks since while rusticatiog in the western portion of this state, one of Sulisbury,s fair daughters and her escort, about sun down one evening made the terible discovery that they were lost. After due consultation, they concladed to hitch their horse and walk back to a farm bouse, just passed a short while before. Failing to find the house, they began retracing their steps to the buggv, when lo! they could not find it. Lost! doubly lost ! So among the panthers, musquitoes, and black gnata, they in a very dignified manner spent the night ina friendly fence cornerstar gazing. At last morning dawn- ed, they found the buggy and hungry steed, and went on their way rejoicing that they had lived through such an or- deal and come out with no damage except muequitoe bites from head to foot. Moral. Young ladies when traveling pay strict attention to all forks of the road. The whitewash committee of Plymouth Church has reported, exhonorating Beecher from the serious allegations of crime ed at A: Parker's.

We learn that Mr. P. bas bought the store into which he has juat moved, and will arrange it espe- cially for his business. Mr. J. H. Griffin of Rocky Mount, N.C., while Turkey hunting a few days ago, was shot by Mr. D. B. Gay, who was-also hunting and mistook Mr. Griffin for a.

Tarsves.—Mr Jno M Coffin about ten days-since had stolen from him eighteen spleadid chickens, water bucket and brass presérving kettle; and on last sunday night they again visited him, that time taking all of those fiue grapes intended for wine to be exhibited at our Fair in October.

On The Tapis—Madam Remor says that there are five or six marriages to take place in this city in about that many weeks. We do not vouch for the rumor, but hope it ie true, as there is noth- ing like marrying and giving in marriage. One of Briugham Young’s wives, has sued for a divorce. Bringham in response to the’ eumplaint of Ann Eliza, the obstreperous spouse, admits that celestial or plural mar- riage is only an ordinance of the Mormano Church, and outside of the pale of the law. and that legally he has only one wife. This admission is creating quite a sensation among the polygameous family. ‘Fhe Concert.—Signor: Silvano has been amusing and interesting our citizens the last few nights by his wonderful feats in magical art, and asa ventriloquist. He is a veritable magician, and his skill in leger- demain, illusory mavipulation, and his won- derful control of electrical agencies are astonishing to all who have seen him. His performance is realty wondei ful. His method of distributing gifts is fair and unobjectiona- ble. Everybody goes to see him. : State Fair.—We have received from the clever and worthy Secretary, Mr. R. T. Fulghum, a copy of the premium list, issued by the North Carolina Agricaltar- al Society. The fourteenth aunual expo- sition of this Society will begin at Raleigh, on the 1Uth of October next, and will last one week. -It is intended, if possible to make the forth coming exhibition the most complete in all particulars ever enjoyed in this State. $10,000 in premiums are offered, and all the necessary arrange~ ments have been perfected to meet the wants of exhibitors, and to secure the comfort of See Ad in another column. visitors. Our Fair.—We see that the Bill Posters have been around ‘l'own, posting up the Fair Bills; ‘They are very hand~ some and make a beautiful appearance. They were printed in Cincinnati, but itis only fair to state that all the rest of the printing was done in North Carolina and the only reason that any of the work was done outside of the State is because there waa no press in the State capable of priut- ing hilloas large asthe Association desired. The work goes bravely on in the Pair grounds and every preparation is making to have the grandest exposition ever secn in Western North Carolina. Many catries have already been made and tlic Secretary is busily occupied in sending Bills, Pre~ mium Lists &c., to all parts of the State. A Good Sign.—We notice lately that a great many improved plows are going to the country. For the last ten or fifteen days a wagon has rarely left town without taking a Watt or a Meroney Plow, some times two or more. ‘This we think a good sign; for we feel satisfied that the products of our soil can be great- ly.inereased by an improved system of farming. Good farming tools and good deep plowing are especially essential to fine yields. We suspect that the Granges have had something to do with introduc ing improved Plows and other utensils on the farms. At least their tendency is to improve the present system of tarming. That is all our farmers need to make thom the most independent, most respectable, and most influential class of our popala- tion. Rossins—4,373 Masoriry.—The en- thusiastic renomination of Maj.

He has carried our banner proudly, and in common with the whole District we rejoice over his victory. — He has ewept every county in the Dis- trict—something unprecedented in the history of our party. The-gain in the District is over 2,500. The gain in Wilkes —the home of Cook—is over 500. If any vindication from the base calumuies, cir- culated throughout the District by his apostate opponent is needed, it is to be found in ths most brilliant victory ever gaiued in the State. If there is such a thing as shame in them his maligners and traducers ought to hang their heads.

District E.] TO THE Wholesale Trade. Judging the future by the past, we enter with confidence upon this our new enterprise ‘| of separating our Wholesale from our Retail Trade, by having a seprate and distinct House for each ; and in doing so we flatter ourselves that it will not only meet the approval of our numerous customers, but that an “Exclusive Wholesale House” will bring us a large influx of new trade, and of a character not heretofore enjoyed. It must be obvious to every buyer that a strictly “ Wholesale House,” arranged and adapted for that Trade only, with a corps of experienced Wholesale Saleamen, with a Stock carefully selected for that Trade only, and moreover, the avoidance of goming in contact with retail buyers, which we and you all have heretofore found to be so irksome, as it fre- quently happens that the retail buyer is your very neighbor, (perhaps your own customer). Such a house, we assert, most and will cém- mend itself to the Trade. _, Four years ago we advertised that we intend- ed to make Charlotte a wholesale mart and ours “The Wholesale House.” We now havethe proud satisfaction ef seeing ian accomplished fact. - .SBLGT 5 We now call your attention to the fact that we lave converted our suberb store into an ex- Pclusive Wholeaale Honse, where you ¢an find alt lines of goods uecesaary for a country store, to-wit: D.,y-goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Notions, Groceries, Hardware, Millinery all in complete lines, bought in large quantities and from the very first hands.

I ask the privilege of introducing to any among whom his lot may be cast, my friend and former pupil, Rev. 8. Taylor Martin. He is a Christian gentleman. a thorough scholar, of good talents and much experience in teaching. He may be depended on to per- form faithfally and well whatever he may” be willing to undertake.

As one of the patrons of Simonton Female College at Statesville, I have had a full and fair opportunity of becoming acquainted with the President, Rev. 8S.

I would there- fore recommend this Institution to all pa- rents and guardians as a very suitable place for the education and training of their chil- dren and wards. W. P. CALDWELL. From the Rev.

Your friend and servant, : WM. M. ROBBINS. From Revo. MOSES D. HOGE, D. D. Ricmronp, Va., Nov. 20, 1872. I am gratified to learn that the Rev. 8. Taylor Martin is about to become the Prin- cipal of the Simonton Female College at Statesville, N.C. My intimate acquaintance with Mr. Martin enables me heartily to com- mend him as a gentleman admirably quali- fied for such a position. His sympathy with the young, his experience in teaching, and his conscientious devotion to duty furnish to parents and guardians the assurance that pupils intrusted to his care will find a safe and happy home, and enjoy every advan- tage for improvement in mind, heart, and manners.

The first lot of Testaments printed by the Protestants of Rome—10,000 in number—were paid for by the children of the Sabbath Schools of this country. They were printed in Nero,s garden where the early Christian martyrs were burned to death in their shirts of tar, right near to the Vatican and St Peter’s church. Looking from the window of his residence, the Vatican, the Pope can sve the work of the press printing the Bibles, which are overthrowing his sway. We hear gloomy accounts concerning the damage done by rust to cotton within the past few days in parts of Wake, Jeboston, Wayne and Lenoir counties.

The disastrous result of that experiment is even now too fresh in the minds of our people to require commment. . Are we certain now that the Conservative organization will not be weakened if the Legis- lature shall conclude to call a convention ? We know that the Conservatives will have the necessary strength in the next Legislature to call a convention; but it must not be forgot- ten that other difficulties would arise, and to these we may make reference more in detail before the assembling of the Legislature. We prefer to “make haste slowly” rather than do anything that can possibly lessen our ability to carry North Carolinain thé Gubernatorial and Presidential elections of 1376. [from the Charlotte observer. No “Say” in Ir.—Says Bancroft, the histo- rian, writing of North Carolina in Colonial times: “Are there any who doubt man’s capa- city for self-government ? Let them study the history of North Carolina; the inhabitants were restless and turbulent in their imperfect submission to a government imposed upon them from abroad ; the administration of the Colony was firm, humane and tranquil when left to themselves. Any governmeut but their own was oppressive. It is so to-day. The government we live un- der is not our own. It was made by a set of carpet-Baggers and negroes, with a few native whites, assembled and dictated to by a military satrap. The true North Carolinians had no “say” in the adoption of this carpet-bag concern, It never did suit the needs of our State; and now that we have the power, we should change it. The Convention question would not be sub- mitted to a vote of the people. Vheir repre- sentatives can call it, by a two-thirds vote. So there could be no chance of a party defeat for us, at the polls, he disaster of 771 could not be repeated. Onin 20x PERFECT CURE FOR CHILLS AND FEVER. PERFECT. PREVENTIVE OF Chills and Fever. NO QUININE ! NO MERCURY ! NWO ARSENIC! Dr. Bellamy’s Pills. This invaluable medicine involves a PER- FECTLY NEW TREATMENT of CHILLS AND FEVER, and will effectually cure and root out the disease from the system. 1. All other remedies must not be taken when the chill andfever fit is on; but the »Bel- lamy” Pill can be taken just as safely when the fit isactuallyon asatany other time. Take once a week during the season of Chills and Fever, they will Positively ward off and pre- vent an attack—making a residence in the most infected districts perfectly safe. 2. The Bellamy” Pillis also a suro remedy in all cases of Intermittent ever, Remittent Fever, Typho!d Fever; Sick Headache, Indi- gestion, and Liver Complaints of all kinds, 3. After you are entirely discouraged ond hopeless and all other remedies have failed, make one more trial, procure une Box of Bel- lamy’s Pills and take them. The -proprietor guarantees you an absolute and perfect eure. Reference is made to the extraordinary cure of Professor Lawrence, Principal of the Insti tutes of Elocution.at New York and Philadel- phia. He says as follows: “About ten years ago, while residing in New Jersey, I hada violent attack of chills and fever. The chill would come on regularly about ten o'clock, and continue for nearly two hours, followed by a burning fever for more than five hours, which no medicine would relieve ; and I became so week that I cuuld hardly walk across the room,and could not ascend one flight of stairs in less time than ten minutes. My life becamea burden to me. I loathed every kind of food, and even water tasted to me like copperas, I could get no refreshing sleep either by night or by day; the medicine prescribed for me by physicians gave mu no relief, and I was fast sinking into the grave. One day a lady persuaded me to pur chase a box of Bellamy’s Pills. Itook three at twelye o’clock noon, and three at night. After sons the two doses [ felt better, aud that night, for the first time in three months, slept for fally eight hours. The next morning I felt much better, and took three more pills. As ten clock approached I prepared myself for my daily chill. but to my intense joy my unwelcome visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o'clock, I took tnree more pills, and at nightthree more. The next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at. seven o'clock, feeling quite well; and although still very week, yet I was able to en- joey my food, and whether eating or drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me. In about seven dayr’ time I was strong enough to walk four miles, and felt pe’ etly cared Ten years have elapsed since the., and I bave never had another attack of Chills and Fever. “P, LAWRENCE, “NeW YORK CONSERVATORY CF MUSIO “5 Eastil4th Street.” In conclusion, the proprietor has only to state that he will guarantee to cure any case of Chills and Fever. No yee will ever in sach case be exacted. The patient is at liberty to pay or not. All that is desired is, that he will eed a certificate of his cure at an early ate. : PRICE, ONE DOLLAR PER BOX.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid niatter with which the bowels are loaded, at tho same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs.

The Detroit Free Press tells of a man who sat down to one of the eating stands in a marrket and called fur seventy-five cents worth of “the best in the house.” It was handed to him, and it made peo- ple’a eyes hang out to see him eat. He wasabout half an bour at it, and when he gotup remarked that be had forgotten his pocket-book. ‘The woman grabbed a butcher knife and started for him, but instead of raaning away he laid his band on her shoulder and whispered: ‘Be calm, and above all, don’t excite me.— My fit comes on regularly every day at this hour, and I get wild, kick, bite, yell agg tip over things. I feel it coming now, If there’s a policeman in the mar- ket go and get him, and let him take me- tothe station right away before I kill someone!” She ran to get an officer, and the man ran the other way.

Bore the telegram: “Judge illiams starts to-night to catch the President and read to hima score or two of letters containing the old yarns about kuklux crimes in the South. It is regarded significant that the attempt is being made just at this time to create is one from which in past political cam- paignos it derives a great portion of its cap- ital. An effort will be made to have a Cabinet session on kuklux business, as that would lead very much to enhance the poltical importance of the matter.” + + - ee Mr. Spurgeon’s Conversion. In the course of a sermon preached at Rockdale, Mr Spurgeoy said he would never forget the period of his conversion. From place to place he went hoping to find peace. At last ope anowy cold mors ning be dropped ito a little Primative Methodist chapel. ' Tbere was a map who preached Christ very much for the same reason that he (Mr Spurgeon) did now— namely because he did not know much about anything ‘else. The text was, “Look unto me, and_ be ye saved’ all the ends of the earth.” The preacher, point- ing towardshim (Mr. Spurgeon,) said, “There’s a young man under the gallery, who looks very miserable;” and he added, “You will never be happy until you look to Christ.” Then, shouting with all his might, he said, ‘Young man, look now.” He did so, and as he gazed his burden fell away; and he who before had been so wretched, left that house of prayer 80 happy that from that day to this, with many troubles and a great deal of care, he would not change places with anybody on earth or in heaven. SS THE SEVEN ANCIENT WONDERS.— They were: lst The brass Colossus of Rhodes, 121 feet in bight, built by Cyrus, B. ©. 288, occupying 20 ycars in making. It stood across the harbor of Rhodes 66 years, and was then thrown down by an earthquake. It was bought by a Jew from the Saracens, who loaded 900 Camels with the brass. 2d. The Pyramids of Egypt. ‘The largest one engaged 360,~ 000 workmen 30 years in building, and has now stood at least 3,000 years. 3d. The acqueducts of Rome, constructed Ly Appius Claudius, the censor. 4th. Laby- rinth of Psammetichus, on the banks of the Nile containing within one continued wall, 1,000 houses and 12 royal palaces, all covered with marble, and having only one entrance ‘lhe building was said to contain 3,000 chambers, and a hall built of marble, adorned with statues of the gods. 5th The Pharos of Alexandria, built by order of Ptolemy Philadelphus, in the year 252 B. C. It was erected as a light-house, and contained magnificent galleries of marble—a large lantern at the top, the light of which was seen near a hundred miles off; mirrors of enormous size were fixed round the galleries’ reflec- ting everything on the gea.

ThePeniple of Diana at Ephesus, com pleted in the eo of Servius, the sixth Bing of Rome, t-was 450 feet long, 200 broad, and supported by 126 marble piflars: Wheat. Tt is always well to look out early for the seed for a future crop of wheat, It is quite as important for the farmer to im- prove his grain as his stock. There yet remains a3 mach room for improvement I bad rather believe aH the fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Aleorap, than that this universal frame ia withoet a mind. Therefore God never wrought awmiracle to cenvince Atheism, because his ordinary works convinee it. It is true that a little philosophy bringeth men’s minds about religion. For while the mind of man looketh upon second causeg scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further; bat when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate and linked togetber, it must needs flee to providence and deity. Nay, even that school, which is most accused of Atheism, doth most demonatiate religion : that is, the school of Leucippus, and Democritus, and Epicurns. For it is a thousand times more creditable, that four matable ele- ments, and one immutable fifth essence, duly and eternally placed, need no God, than that an army of infinite small por~ tions or seeds unplaced, ehould have pro- duced this order and beauty without a Divine Marshal. The Scripture saith, The fool hath said in his heart, There is NeGod: it is said, /he fool hath thought "his heart.

( Essaps ) in our cereals as in our cattle and horses. ; There is as much “scrub” grain in the country as “serub’’ stock. Improved stock brings improved prices. A cow or bull will, for breeding purposes, bring extraordinary high prices. So will ime proved grain for seed. ‘The average yield of wheat per acre, in this state, does not exceed twelve bushels, while with im- proved seed and improved culture, it might be raised to thirty bushels. There is no law of nature more universally ape preciable than that ‘Every plant produces seed after its kind.’’ The best culture possible willnot produce superior grain from interior seed. Every farmer should make a special effort this year to sow bet- ter seed than last. Let every grain be full and round. Use the screen, and sep- arate from the seed every little, shriveled grain, and all foreign matter. Let none but the best and purest grain be sown. It is not good husbandry to take your seed wheat from thecommon stock pre pared for the mill or market. Select from the field patches containing the largest and fullest heads for sced, and thresh and keep separate from the market grain, Do this for the present, but do not rest satisfied with this. There is large room for improvement. ‘lhe same care that is used in improving stock will improve grain. Select the best heads from your best grain—heads that are large long, and perfectly filled. Sow this seed on grouod thoroughly prepared. Though the patch may be small, it will furnish a be- ginning tor improved grain. Follow up this process year after year, and the result will be grain that will compare favorably with the most improved breed of short horns, and will cammand correspondingly high prices. —Indiana farmer. Who is a Gentleman ? There is a prevalent fallacy that to bea 1 seatleman it is essential to follow a gentle- manly occupation, from whieh category is. of course, excludedZapything so degrading ‘as trade or manual labor. One result of this ris that the learned professions are overstock- and there is an invitable regult, and a great and growing amount of genteel proverty, which ia often sorely pressed to satisfy the vulgar necessity of living, England daily in- creases in wealth, and they who mainly contribute to and share in her growing pros- perity, are infthe despised pursuits of com- merce ‘and manufactures. On the other hand, we have an array of poor curates;and lieutenants on half-pay, at{host of briefless tarving in their dignity and too proud to own it, ‘‘who cannot dig and are ashamed to beg"’; while on the other there are our shrewd and energetic sons of toil amassiug fortunes, buying estates, getting into Par- liament, efficiently performing the duties of members of local boards and municipal councils, and otherwise making there mark in society. and so influencing their geueration as to suggest that there may be a more ex- tensive application of the term “gentleman” than many have been willing to admit. There is among us so much surface gen- tillity and ;assumption of superiority that self-assertion is at a premium, and we ‘‘fol- low my leader’ in paying homage to the tinsel of ashowy exterior. and in bowing the kuee before ‘‘success in life,’ as the great. pare aud gray-haired civil servants GOLDEN CALF OF MODERN DAYS. Only let a man have money and it matters uot how he became possed of it. There are not a few who hold their heads heigh, avd whe look with disdain on all in an inferior station, whose fingers all the gold in the mint cannot wash from the slime of the mean and dishonest transactiuus whereby they amassed their wealth. *Nothing is missing but conscience—nothing lost but honor.”” Boldy tell one of this shoddy aris- toeracy that he is not a gentleman, and he will certainly sue you for libel. A recent writer observes that it is as ob- vious a perversion of the term to say that to be a gentleman is to say that he is one who never does anything ; that although a man may be a good mau in addition to being a gentleman. the two thingsare quite distinct ; and that, in short, he may be a gentleman and yet be a very wicked man. We finda better conception of the character. A mau so inconsisteut as to sail under false colors and make himself agreeable for a siu- ister purpose we should consider one of the inost dangerous persons we could introduce into our homes or among our friends. find a better conception of the character in a recent work of fiction. ‘tHe is certaiuly a gentleman,” the author says of one of bis heroes. though what it is that constitutes a gentleman is an open question. It is not culture, for I have known ignorant meu gentlemen acd learned schulars who were not. It is not money, nur grace, nor good- ness, nor station. It is something indefina- ble, like poetry.”—Tinsley Magazine. THE ATONEMENT. Whatever difficult there may be in the conception of vicarious punishments, it is an opiniou which has had possession of mankind in all ages. There is no nation that has not used the practice of sacrifices. Whoever, therefore, denies the property of vicarious punishments, holds an opinion which the sentiments and practice of man- kind have contradicted from the begin- ning of the world. ‘Ibe great sacrifice for the sins of mankind was offered at the death of the Messiah, who is called in Scripture, ‘I'he Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.” ‘T’o Judge of the reasonableness of the scheme of redemption, it must be considered as ne- cessary to the'government of the universe taal and irreconcilable detestation of mor- alevil. He might indeed punish, and punish only the offenders ; but as the end of punishment is not revenge of crimes, but propagation of virtue, it was more becoming the divine clemency to find another manner of proceeding. less de- structive toman,;and at least equally pow erfal.to-promote - gooduers.. A'he endof x ment is-to reclaim and warn. ‘That punishment will both reclaim ‘and, ‘warn, which-showe.evidently sach abhorrence of sin if: as may better as from it, or strike us with vengence when we have committed it? ‘This is effected by vica- rious punishment. Nothing could more testify the opposition between God and moral evil, or more amply display his justice to men and angels, to all orders and succession of beings, than that it was necessary for the highest gnd purest na- ture, even fordivinity Tacit to pacify the demands of vengewnte by a painful death of which the natural effect will be, that when justice is appeased, there is a prop- er place for the exercise of mercy. The peculiar doctrine of Christianity is, that of an universal sacrifice and perpetual propitiation. Other prophets only pro- claimed the will and the threateniags of God; Christ Satisfied his justice. —Dr. Johnson. A Small Crop.

The Raleigh News says: Our pubs lished list of Senatora elect to the next General Assembly is now complete. That body will be composed of 38 Democrats and 12 Republicans, a Demoeratic in- crease of 6 Senators over the last ses~- sion. The House list is not quite complete, the positive returns from some few coun- ties yet to hear from, tho’ we know what will be the political character of t! o Repre | sentives from these counties, except pos sibly in one or two instanecs. The Honse will bavein it 80 Democrats, 3 Independent Democrats, 36 Republicans and 1 Liber- al Republican. ‘The three Irdependent Democrats are Messrs. Carson, of Alex, ander. Oakemith, cf Carteret, and A. J. Sunith, of Hyde. The Liberal Republi- can is Mr. Garrison, of Polk. In the Senate but three Democratic members of the last session are returned, Messrs. Waring, of Mecklenburg, More- bead, of Guilford, and McAuley of Union, but one Repeblican member, Mr. Martio Walker of the 39th District. The following members of the late House haye been clected to the Senate : Messrs, Stanford, Dem., of Duplin, J. G. Marler, Dem., of Yadkin, R. G. Sneed, Rep., of Granville, John M.

Ou account of the profound ability of chiropodists aid the perfect stupidity of shoemakers, one of the rarest, most dif- ficul- things to meet isa pair of pretty feet on a lady. sense of the word beauty. A vulgar pre- judice has-been laid on that observation, thongh full of jastice, that states: ‘The constitution of a woman is more delicate than that of a man; the fibres of a female form. are more frail and of a weaker tissue than in a man,” a vulgar prejudice did I say, absolutely declares that female perfec- tion consists in smallnegs of statute, and Lof the other parts of the body. ‘There is nothing more ig absurd. One has only to consult the engravings im faghion journals to bave an idea of the t monstrosities invented by this dice ; the tiny bands, imperceptible feet, eyes largerthan the mouth, a slim little waist, in strange contrast with the exaggerated hips and broad shoulders— these are the horrible beauties which the generality of the women envy and the public laud. Artists; who are the only persons competent in this question, di - clare that beauty covsists in harmony of all parts of a subject as well as the eqaili- brium of its proportions. And there is nothing more true than this assertion. Here it ia quite indispensable that the eyes of a wuman should be smaller than her mouth; that her waiste should be neither thick nor thin, and yet to retain flexibility and grace, which are the prin- cipal attractions, they should be in pro- portion with the other parts of her body ; the hands and feet should harmonize regu- larly with the arms and legs. In_ brief, a large woman, to be perfectly made should have large hands and feet. If she has not, so much the worse for her; she is not perfeet. ‘The beauty of each organ does not consist in its dimensions, but in its special form. A large woman who has litile fect, particularly is less digple_sing and more agreeable to see than one with the fect of an ourang outang. Yet that does not make her perfect. I repeat, beauty of form is this: A high instep, round plump foot, with ivory skin, the toes slightly seprated, the first toes being larger than the others; the blue veins showing, and the toe* nails bright and polished, with a rosy tint. ‘Then the foot is handsome ; if not in proportion with the rest of her body, it is simply perfect. } work 4s thé ¥ mdét fértifying and the Ss neato Wed by | bringing Here it is necessary to explain the exact. ; oye aga ¥ ae 2 x NY er at rae _ .

Ina quiet little towh in” Mississippi, more than a week ago, one of the roost singular scenes ever witnessed on this continent took place in the broad day, under the very eye of the sun. ‘T'here was no need of the cover of night—no cause for concealment ; the act had the smiling approval of heaven. Near the jail stood a newly erected gal- lows. Around it were gathered the entire population of the town and surrounding country, gazing coolly, calmly and dia- passionately at the dread instrument of Justice, and patiently awaiting the bour for the culminating scene. Not the face of a single man in all that vast audience wae masked; uot a disguise was worn; they were American citizens who held the honor of their mothers, their sisters and their wives dearer than life itself. Marke this. The fatal moment arrived. Three ne- gro men were led forth from the jail, with their arms pinioned behind them, and accompanied by a guard of white men, and priests who bad been administering to them in their last hours. One by one these negroes werc hung, quietly, peacefully and with al! due cere~ mony; and the spectators departed to their various homes. This was the manner in which specdy | retributive justice was yisited on three notorious villains, who, a few nights pre< vious, had broken into the house of a de- fencelead widow, dragged her from her bed from the side of her child, and bru- tally outraged her person. This was one of the acts of lynching which causes the Southern hating Radi- cals to howl against us. Now let ua turn from this quick, though traggic scene of swift retributive justice in the South to another scene of swift retributive justice which took place in the pious Keystone State—the home of Simon Cameron, Colonel Forney and other des famers of our people.

We should regret to see the subject investiggted with anything of acrimony or approached in any way that would array the people into parties. It is a subject in whiel all have a momens tous interest, and apon which there have been and will be serious differences of opinion. It isto observe and demonstrate the gravity of these interests and to reeoncile these differences, that discussion now is proper. Previous efforts in the same direction aroused so much apprehension, that it is presumed asa thing of course tlle same conditions might attend a new endeavor. We think they should not ex- ist now, and that opposition woald be without a foundation, and anwise and fa- tal to the best interests of the people.

There has been no demand made upon Grant in the regular or legal and con- stitutiona] way, yet at the instance of a few notorious carpet-bag scoundrels such @ Patterson, of 8. C., and Spencer and Baye, of Ala., he at once issues orders through his tool, Attorney Gen. Williams, to the Seeretary of war to have troops Gistributed through the South. Cana President utterly ignore the laws ot the land with impunity! Ifso, is there any wender that private citizens do? The secret of all our troubles is the disregard shown for the /aws by those in high places. Let the people understand that office hol- ders and even President are required toobey the laws and it will inspire confidence and promote peace. As the maiter now stands Grant is virtually a dictator, or at least, he acts the partof one. He knows no lew except bis own will, and the exer eive of this hae alone given him the right to send Federal soldiers South. —— We can not imagine any thing more eontemptible than the truckling of news- pepers to mcre party dictation, unless it be the eudorsation and echoing by them of the silly utterances of so-called promi- nent men or self-constituted Statesmen ; Yet it has become common in some sec- tiens to charge treason and eorruption upon any editor who has the independence to burst party shackles and disregard the dictates of party hacks, when such seem to stand in the way of his duty to the pablic. There is no slavery so degrading as that exacted by party, -no subservien- ey so disgusting as flunkeyi-m—toadying to would-be leaders and cringing to the dogmas of Jackass statesmen. When the sa becomes the mere spokesman of party and the supple tool of those tew wire pullers who assume to control that party's disstiuy, it will be time to blot it from the face of the earth: it will have become too degraded and obsequious to live auy longer, except as a demoralizing agent of the most hideous type. The man who assumes to edit a newspaper should have nerve enough to speak his mind— his honest conviction, regardless of all euteide pressure. Ii he is fit to edit at all, his views on all matters of pablic policy, ought to be entitled to as much weight as the mere politician, office-hunter, te or fence-rider ; and he should we independence enough to assert his views without fear and without special re- geedfor any particalar creed, or the opinions of any leader.

The discussion of the Convention question so far bas clearly demonstrated the fact that there is but little hope of effecting reform measures if they are left exclusively with the politicians, office-holders, and so-called leaders. In 1870 ~’71 these gentry were 20 prudent and so anxi- ous to do something to commend themselves to the dear people, thas they determined to call a Convention, after dallving and fooling and do- ing everything in their power (ignorantly of eugyee) to embarrass the measure. This step was Snaily gakeu at atime and ina manner that made failure almost certain from the diag. The members of the Legislature of that perlod Went cs. 3 after i fix their pay at i ‘Wien, fliey proceeded to Giscusa the quest pepnection with impeachment, and kept Mt up aotil the last hours of the Session; when they rushed throagh a bill submitting the matter to the people by less than a two-thirds vote. The blandering, weakness, stupidity, ex- hibited by that body in this matter is withqut a precedent. Ata time when there were grave duubts as to the propriety of the measure— when it was known that it would be opposed on the grounds of illegality, when it was known that hundreds and thousands of Conservative polls by the threats of interference by the Gen- eral Government—when. the. Legisiature and Letamped the project with the evidence of its fol- ty and cowardice—when it was most unfavorable the politicians urged the call for a Conventida. Now, when times are most favorable, when we have the requisite two-thirds majority, when there is no danger of Fedetal interference, when every prospect is good for succesn—thene same would be leaders say that we must noi call a Convention ; that a few negroes and ecalawags will get diegruntled and will nut vote with us any more, if wedo. Such extreme disinterem- edness on the part of politiciama—auch consis- teney—such blundering statesmanship-—ean not bat excite the contempt of the people. Let them therefore repudiate the counsels of the wiseacres, and ifthe incoming Legislature re- fuse to call a Convention, let the people hdid their mass meetings throughout the State demand it. ane The Legislature is chosen to do whatever it may find to be necessary to advance the public welfare and general interest of the State and people: it amounts to nothing therefore that the Convention question was not. discussed in the last campaign. Will it promote the public in- terest? Is there pressing need of it? These are the questions for that body. —__——~-.o——__—_—— ce Ifthe next Legislature refuses to call a Convention to 1emodel the Cousti- tation, to do away with the burdens fixed upon the State by Radical misrule—to give us our old cherished form of cheap State and county governments—it will simply be an admission by that body and of the Conservative party, that what the Radical Party has done is all right and proper and should now be submitted to. It will be a confession that the denuncia- ton of Radicalism aud its crimes by the Conservative leaders was all bosh—done for buncombe, and that the main objection to Radicalism and its acts was and is that the offices were filled by Rads and not Conservatives : ‘Chat any sort of laws or Constitution will do if only Conservatives can fill the offices and suck the govern- ment pabulum Whata confession! What an outrage upon the honest intelligence of the Country! How can the Conservative party fulfill its promises to the people without a speedy change in the organic law 7 Yet the Constitution ean’t possibly be changed before the last of 1878, by any method except through a Convention. Shall we wait and ron the risk of having it done even then by the doubtfal Legista- tive mode ? or shall we call a Convention and have it done at onee, that the people may have speedy relief? The people must have the promised, needed, relief and that without delay, or the Conservative party must prepare to assume the responsibility of all the crimes of Radicalism sinee thc adoption of the present Constitution. — There is no shirking this responsibility if our party willingly lies down ip the Radi- eal rut and quictly submits to the wrongs and burdens that have been imposed upon our people, without any effort to redress them or to remove them. The argument that it is inexpedient to eall a Conve.sion because perchance a few scalawags and negroes might oppose it is simply timidity, and will be so regarded by the people. Why should those who voted with us last August refuse to vete with.as on the Convention question ? Why sbould they grow angry beeayse we proceed to do just what we told them we would do if we got the chance? If they helped us to gain the late victory then they did it with the expectation that we would do all in our power asa party to bring about those reforms we had promis- ed and which are so much needed. This puerile cry raised by the poliey hucksters that we shall drive away new friends is the merest pretext and reminds us of the. over sensitive hound that yelps before he is struck. The fact is there are more Rade in favor of a Convention than there are Conservatives opposed to it. ——_— oe Meeting of County Commissioners,— The newly elected County Board met at the Court-hou-e last Monday.

Delegates from nine of the ten different Granges.in this County, convened at the room of Oak Forest, No, 295, Saturday morning last, for the purpose of organiz, ing a County Couneil. W. M. Kincaid, Eagq., wae called to preside, and Mr. ‘Thos. Watson « fficiated as Secretary. The firgt business in order was the election of officers, which consumed the forepart of the day, and resulted as fol- lows: Ww. H. Crawrorp, Master. S. R. Cvrarke, Overseer. T. H. Wess, Steward. J G. Friemine, Assistant Steward. H. C. Bost, Lecturer. Rev. Writson KimBa ti, Chaplain. Joun K. Grawam, Treasurer. T. C. Watson, Secretary. G. A. Barcer, Gate-keeper. Mrs. J.C. Linn, Ceres. Mrs. 8S. C. MILLER, Pomona. Mrs. M. J. GrawaM, Flora. Mrs. H.C. Bost, Lady Ass’t. Steward. A recess of one hour was then given, and the delegates, together with a number of visitors, were invited to partake of a bountiful dinner, spread on benches under the shade of the noble old oaks which adorn the grounds. ‘The feast was got up in picnic atyle, exceedingly varied, rich, refreshing and abundant. All were served ; and the free and easy enjoyment of the company during this bour was a feature of exquisit pleasure. Ata signal the delegatvs returned to the Grange room and resumed business. A ‘Committee of nine, one from each Grange, was appointed to prepare a Conetitation and By laws for the Council. During their absence on this business, various subjects engaged the attention of other members. . Mr. J. K. Graham submitted the quee- tion of direct importation of Perayian Guano as 9 means of obtuining it pure. The consideration of the subject was de- ferred for the present. : Mezers. E. E. Phillipe, J. F. E. Brown, and Jas. Harrison, were elected as mem- bers of the Exeentive Committee. By election, the next regular meeting of the Council will «be beld at Franklin Gradge room, Saturday, Sept. 19th. A Committee was appointed to engage the services of a public speaker for the occasion. Committee on Constitution and By- Laws through the Chairman, Mr. T. J. Sumner, sabmitted their report which was decepted and adopted. : ‘These various items of business were transacted in an orderly manner, the dele- gates generally taking part in the discus~ sions which now and then sprang up. There wae nothing likea speech attempt- ed or called for, until the basiness of the day was finished. W. H. Crawford Eeq., submitted a resolution of thanks to the officers of the day, which, ou the motion of D. Barringer, Esq., was antended to extend thanks also to the members of Oak Forest Grange for their hospitalit” ; and Mr. C. then took occasion to make a few remarke of a general character. It was getting late, and we feared he would talk tuo long, but we are glad to eay he did not. His remaks were designed to promote harmony and good-will between Grangers and business men who were not members. He pointed ont actions of the part of both Grangers and merchants, which he denounced as mischievous iu their tendeney, and should be caretully avoided. He claimed that the interest of all—the happiness and prosperity of all— was mutually dependent on each other; and that jt could ouly be promoted by a generous confidence and mutual respect, That it would not do to criminate and re~ criminate, for like all contentions, these things would eurely lead to mischief, and their eoneequences fall on all alike.

He seut the Clerk after the Sheriff, but neither returned. In the mean time Cloud held on to his seat, but doing no busines aa there were no officers of the Court present. About 2 0’clock Wilson in company with the Solicitor, the Sheriff and the Clerk made bis ap pearance in the Court-house.

This he did, and proceeded to inform Mr. Cloud that he must vacate his seat for Mr. Wilson. Mr. Cloud refused to obey, and had to be carried from the bench by main force. He made no physical resistance. A writ guo warranto was then served on Judge Wilson, which was acknowledged by him, when he proceeded with the busi- nega of the Court.

About twenty miles from Berlin is sit- uated the village of Sperenburg, noted for the deepest well that has ever been sunk. Owing to the pretence of gypsum in the locality, which is at a moderate distance from the capital, it occurred to the government authorities in charge of the mines to obtain a supply of rock salt. with this end in view, the sinking of a shaft or well sixteen feet in diameter, was commenced some five years ago, and at a depth of 280 feet the salt was reached. ‘The boring was continued to a further depth of 960 feet, the diameter of the bore being reduced to about thirtcen inches. The operations were subsequently prose- euted by the aid of system until a depth of 4,194 feet was attained. At this point the boring was discontinued, the borer being still in the salt deposit, which thus exhibits the enormous thickness of 3,907 feet. ONE BOX A PERFECT CURE FOR CHILLS AND FEVER.

But we learn that in Ramah congregation in Mecklenburg county, there isa vine one foot three inehes in diameter, clasping tightly a mighty oak. It is on the farm of Mr. M. E. Caldwell, Calitornia will have to try again, before she beats North Carolina.— thern Home. We have heard (or read) of a grape vine on Roanoak Island, a seuppernong, whose branches are said to cover three acres of land, and the frait to yield 3,000 gallons of Wine. Will some one fally informed on the subject publish the facts in the case, Some three or four years ago a corres spondent of one of the Norfolk, Va., pas pers, we think, published an account of vineyards visited by him in the Eastern part of the State, in which he announced the rather startling fact (if it be a fact) that North Carolina had the largest vine~ yard in the world. Who can throw any light on this subject ? Grape culture is a growing subject in this State, some few gentlemen in this section having already found It profitable. The practical question of profit may not yet be as fairly settled as it should be. We know of at least one very intelligent gentleman in an adjoining county who has been experimenting with Grapes and wine Making for a number of years on a small scale, who holds the opinion, that Westera North Carolina at least, is not, and never can be, a good wine producing country. Weare not prepared to give in full his reasons for so believing, and will not therefore attempt to state them. Means while, Messrs. King and Hege of Lexing- ton, Geo. W. Johnson, Esq., of Davie; Mickey, of Salem ; and some two or three others in Guilford; and others in Meck~- lenburg and Cabarras, are extending their Vineyards, and making Wines which al- ready sell more readily then any foreign products in the market. Some of them are abipping thcir Wines to the great com- mercial centers, where, we learn, they fiod ready and remunerative sales. This is practice against theory, and we respectfully suggest to our old avd high- ly esteemed frievd in Stanly, that they are pretty strong against him; and that at this rate, ten years will hardly go by be= fore he will be compelled to yicld his theory to irresistable demonstration. Since the forgoing was put in type we have the Raleigh News of the 12th, from which weextract the following paragraphs on the subject of the grape culture east of Raleigh. Dear News:—I write you a line to record the very pleasant visit of the com. mittee on the part of the State Agricul- tural Society, appointed to inspect the vineyard of Mons. J. L. Labiaux, near Ridgeway, and report the progress thus far obtained, in the cultivation of French vines, to the Society at the approaching Fair. * * s ° * *» * In the afternoon, a thorough inspection and examination of the three vineyards of Mons. Labiaux followed, in company with Mons. Lombard, his very energetic and accomplished Superintendent, sent to this country by Mons. Planchon. It would not be proper in this article, to an- ticipate the report of the advantages and disadvantages whatever they may be, of this experiment in the cultivation of the vitis vinifera, The vineyards cover thir- ty-five acres. * * ? 2 * * * We visited the next day, the vineyard of Chas.

It was discovered by Mr. Hudson in 1810 in South Point, then Lincola county, but now Gaston county. Mr. Hudson culti- vated this variety of grape considerably. In 1824, he sold his place to Mr. Andrew Hoyle, who cultivated it more extensively. In 1827, Dr. Butts, of Ohio, then living in Lincolnton, gaye the grape the name of “Lincoln,” which it has borne ever siace. Before that, it was called the Hudson grape. Here is another question worth settling, if it can bedone: We have'heard it very confidently asserted by a gentleman well informed on the subject of Grapes, that the “‘Linco!n,” the ‘“enoir,” and the “Elsingburg” are identical. We have, ourself, compared the fruit, foliage and vine of King & Hege’s “Elsingburg,” with the fruit, foliage and vine of William Michael’s “Lincoln,” and could detect no differenee. We believe they are jdenti- cally the same. Mr, Michael’s “Lincoln,” in our. possession, is a cutting from the grape so long cultivated in the town of Lincolnton, and sometimes spokey of as the Butt’s grape. LARGE Grape Vine.—Some of thel one else can do what th Confession of:weakness, Aside from the contfadiction between the idea of a matter @ self-sufficient to evolve every form and quality of life, and that of an unknown power which eyolves from that matter perceptible phenomena, it is worthy of remerk bow confidently Prof.Tyndall pronounces this latter power “inscrutable,” insoluble,” and “un- searchable.” There is iu these epithets a revelation of great significance. It is a confession of the impoteney of Prof. ‘Tyn- dall and his school to fairly grapple with the subject they profess to discuss, and of their unwillingness to concede that any fail to do, — They know all about it that can be known and therefore those who pretend to know more are impostors.

The Green Mountain State has lately con- tributed very fully to the tragic annals of the eriod. Three or four frightful murders have occurred within its borders during the last month. A special dispatch from Rutland to the Troy Times of Saturday, gives the facts, very briefly, of another mys- terious and ghastly affair—a case of suicide —which is lacking in no element of horror. A man who registered himself as C. V. Rol- lins. a guest at the Bardwell House, in Rut- land, was found in his room with his throat cut from ear tu ear. It was evident that he committed the desperate deed with the great- est coolness and deliberation. He had seat- ed himself in a chair and permitted the life current to flow into a washbow) on the floor before him. One extraordinary feature of this horrible tragedy is found in the fact that he left an incoherent statement, written in his own blood, denying complicity in some murder of which nothing appears to be known. Numerous small scraps of paper written over in the same way were found scattered around the room. It was plain that the man bad permitted himself to bleed to death slowly, aud occupied his last mo- meuts in writing these notes. At last ac- counts the affair remained a mystery, and certainly not even the morbid imagination of a foe could conjure up anything more ghastly rH or An Example Worth Consider- ing. The Charlotte Southern Home, under the caption, “What Energy will Do,” has the following which can be read with profit by many of the young men of the present age: “At the outbreak of the war, a Ger. man who could hardly speak English volunteered in a Southern Battery. He was as true as steel throughout the dess perate struggle. At its close, without a dollar in his pocket, he married a real shelp-meet and began life on a rented farm of rather poor land. He made excellent crops every year and now has an excellent farm of his own with every comfort around it. He has more conveniences and labor-saving appliances than many wealthy farmers have, and is ready to help with hand and puree, in ev- ery good enterprize. “This is no fancy picture, but the so- ber truth, as the people of Gaston, who know Mr. A. Farley can testify. “What a different country we would have, if all our young men would show the pluck and energy shown by this man. How many idle away their time about stores and cross~roads complaining that the freedmen will not work, instead of taking hold themselves. How many are running to town to get into little pidding, unmenly employments, instead of battling manfally on their farms. If the Grange does no other good than to make farmers respect their calling, it will accomplish a mighty work. The success of a man without means on rented land shows what might be done by the owners of the soil with the right pluck and spirit.” _——~ <P oe Cato in the Wilmington Journal says! Not a single objection has yet been pubs lished against calling a convention which can stand the touchstone of truth, reason and logic. Our prostrate condition de- mands it. The sentiments, as well as wants of all classes and conditions cal} aloud for change in our organic laws. Our present Constitution is not the work of true North Carolinias, but is of foreign origin and growth, and under its operation our condition has been growing worse. We have not time to wait and live in poverty under this spawn of home scallawags and Northern adventurers. It was framed under the reigning influence of military power, with the ewords and bayonets of the United States Army in our midst as a terror to our prostrate people. These people, who had no heart to vote for a Convention in those days while thus under the thraldom of this grinding mil- itary despotism, are now becoming free, and they long for an opportunity to make for themselves a Constitution in place of the abominable one now governing uz. Now is the time to strike for it, in spite of the cob-web sophistries and fallacious arguments of the editors and politicians who oppose it. Timid men rarely favor innovation or advocate reform. Bold, manly spirits are those who have to do this sort of work, and they must expect more abuse than praise. Still, those who as« sume that the people of North Carolina are not ripe for a Convention reckon with- out their hosts. They donot know of what material our people are mae. Ludicrous Scene in a Pulpit. {New York Times. } A South German paper relates the fol- lowing : In a Bavarian town of the most pro~ nounced Catholic orthodoxy, the priest preached lately against the Old Catholics, and related such horrible things about them that his pious hearers were literally horror stricken at Old Catholic im pieties. At last the preacher cried out, “The Old Catholics are so vile that they will all be cast into the pit, and if what I tell you is not true may the devil take me now on the spot!’ His excitement was terrible, and he sostrack the cushion that the book fell from it. Not far from the pulpit there sat an American, who had a negro ser« vant with him, to whom he beckoned to take the book up to the priest, who pers haps, had never seen one of those sons of Ham in his life. The negro at once obeyed, and as he mounted the lowest of the pulpit steps, the clergyman repeated his wieh that the Devil might come and take him if what he had said against the old Catholics was not true. Although the negro went softly the preacher heard his footsteps, and turning round, saw a black object solemuly, steadily and surel approaching him, He looked at him wit terror, and believing that he would be the next instant collared by his Satanic Majes- ty he cried out with trembling voice: “It is, after all, possible that there may be good people among the old Catholics.” Turning then round to see if the object had disappeared he saw it still steadily approaching. The perspiration burst out on his brow, and fall of despair he called out, ‘“There are even many good people among the old Catholics!” Thinking that this would suffice he turned around, but what was his horror to find that the object was close at hand. Imagining himself in the very grasp of Beelzebub, turning partly to the negro and partly to the congregation, he cried out, “May the devil come and take me if all the old Catholics are not better than we are!” The terrified preacher fainted from fright and it was only after sometime that he recovered. CHARITY. Fair Charity, be thou my guest, And be thy constant couch, my breast.— Cotton. This golden chain, that reaches from heaven to earth, is much more admired than used -more preached about than practised. It has been remarked by some writer, “Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a Heaven, and Hell a fable.” It is another name for disinter- ested, lofty, unadulterated love—the at- tribute of Deity, that moved Him to pro- vide a city of refuge for our fallen, ruined race, when exposed to the yengeance and penalty, imposed by the holy law of God, violated by our federal head. It is placed at the head of all the Christian virtues by Bt. Paul, the ablest divine that ever graced a pulpit or eiided apen. It is the sub- stratum of philanthropy, the brightest star in the Christian’s diadem. It spurns the scrofula of green-eyed jealously, the canker of tormenting envy, the tortures of burning malice, the typhoid of foaming revenge. It is an impartial mirror, set in the frame of love, resting on equity and justice. It is the foundatioa and cap stone of the climax of all the Christian graces—without it, our religion is like a body without a soul—our friendships, shadows of a shadow—our alms, the off- spring of pride, or, what is more detesta- ble, the offerings of hypocrisy—our ha- manity, a mere iceberg on the ocean of time—we are unfit to discharge the duties of life, and derange the design of our creation. Was this Heaven-born, soul- cheering principle, the mainspring of hu- man action, the all pervading motive pow- er, that impelled mankind in their onward course to eternity, the polar star to guide them through their world of sin and wo— the ills that flesh is heir to, would be softened in its melting sun beams, a new and blissful era would dawn aus iciously upon our race, and Satan race become a bankrapt for want of business. Wara and rumors of wars would cease—envy, jealousy, and revenge would hide their diminished heads—falsehood, slander, and persecution would be unknown—sectarian walls, in matters of religion, would crum- ble in dust—the household of faith would become what it should be—one united, harmonious family in Christ—infidelity, vice, and immorality would recede, and happiness, before unknown, would become the crowing glory of man. Pure and un- defild religion would then be honored and glorified—primitive Christianity would stand forth, divested of the inventions of men, in all the majesty of its native love- liness—the victories of the cross would be rapidly achieved—and the bright day be ushered in, when Jesus ehall rule, King of nations, as he now doce King of saints. Senet cnet The Granges The number of subordinate granges now in operation is but a few score less than twenty thousand. Iowa had the largest num- ber on the first of June, the date of the last report. being 1,994. Indiana was 1968. and Missouri had 1,929, while the Kansas gran- gea numbered 1,323. Illinois had 1,481, and Kentucky 1,10}. The cotton and Gulf States alone had 4,065 grangers. There are grangers in all the States, but Connecticut and Delaware are without State grangers, not having the necessary number. There are now about thirty grangers in Canada and the Patrons there propose organizing separately hereafter. There are no granges in New Mexico or Arizona. while in the other Territories there are 180. An Awful Fate. The Story of the Man Who Was Tied on @ Railroad Track by Robbers. Near Henryville, Tudiana, on Saturday night last, A t Gardner was robbed and aherward bound to the track of the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis railroad. He lived long enough after being taken to Jefferson to tell the story of this anexampled atrocity. It is as follows : “My name is August Gardner. I was born in France, and have been from that country but a short time—I am but twenty-three years old: I have no rela- tives or friends in this country. My father is-dead. I was going down {to Lovisville tx search of employment, and as I had but little mo I thought I would walk. It could not have been much past ten o'clock last ni ht, when men came up to me wile I was walking along the track. One of them demand my money. I told them that I was poor, having only a few dol- lars. This did not do any good, for they seized me, two holding me and the other one searching my pockets and taking m Foren rook and everything else I fet hey then threw me down on the track. I thought that they were going to kill me, and I begged them to spare my life. They said nothing, but one of them produced a long piece of rope from his pocket, and they commeneed to tie me to the track, over a cattle-guard. I was badly frigh. tened, and begged them hard not to do that. Itold them that I never knew them, and had never done them any harm, and if they would let me go I would say nothing of what oceurred. While 1 was talking and pleading with them they still kept on tying me to the track over the cattle-guard. They tied me length- ways tothe rail. The rope was tightly fastened around my body, legs and arms. When they got through I could not move my arms and legs. While I was begging them not to leave me there, they went off. I knew that tke cars would be along soon, and I tried my utmost to free my~ self and luosen the ropes that bound me. At first I did not think I would be able to move at all, but after repeated efforts I succeeded in working my arms and body off the track, it swinging down. T tried to get my left leg off, but I could not. I yelled with all my might hoping that somebody would come and save me, but no one came. It was raining hard at the time and very dark, I had been lying there about half an hour when I heard the cars whistle. I cannot tell you my feelings. [A perceptible shudder here paseed through the frame of the dying man.] Ina few seconds the cars were nearly up to where I was lying. I gave a wild shriek and closed my eyes. The cars passed over me, the wheels cutting ropes loose that bound we. I suffer. off my leg and cutting the ed intense pain, and crawled and dragged myself a few feet from the track. I fain- ted away, and when [Game to was very thirsty, It was still raining, dnd I dug a hole in the ground by my face with my bfingers. By doing this I managed to get a little water. 1 was so weak that I could not move, and { hallooed frequently dur- ing the night for help, but no one came until morning, when I was found. —_—_—~Po From the Raleigh Crescent. Salisbuy. Mr. Hampton: As yon were once a citizen of Salisbury, a talk with you about your old home will not be inappro~ priate. The month of Angust is not a favorable time to judge of towns so for East of the mountains, unless one makes allowance for the season. Bat I am glad to say that the streets give evidence of improved life and activity, and here and there are signs of awakening energy. A Building and Loan Association is begin- ning to show its progressive influence. The present town government is actively at work. The rolling streets, open drains aud gravelled side~walks show a determis nation to dispute the reign of King Mud next winter. The health of the people is generally good—perhape equal to that of any town in the State. This great im- rovement is attributed to the draining of MeCoy's ond last year. The old Mansion House is no longer used as a hotel, but is divided into shops and residences. The National and Boy- den hotels keep up the reputation of the town in that line. The market is cheap- er than in your city—farnishing better beef and fruits and drawing more directly on the fresh stores of the West. Mears. Grupy & Kluttz have erected a steam flour and saw mill on Innias street. ‘Taste and elegance are displayed in the recent buildings and in beautiful flower gardens. As to flowers, I feel that I am justified in special commendation of care and taste.—The celebrated brass band has recently purchased a splendid outfit, and their silver pieces combine loudness and sweetness to a delightful degree. The instruments are a charming picture in themselves.—They certainly make exquisite music. Among the interesting features of Salisbury I must mention the venerable Dr. Alex. Long. Far beyond the allotted age of man, he is passing down the even, flowery slope with a ceaseless smile on his heart, cloud- less peace on his face and a halo of sweet submission and soft decline about him. How beantifal such a picture of old age ! The two cemeteries of the town are handsomely enclosed. The interior of them is neglected. I hope somobody will speedily replace the yed head boards at the graves of those Southern soldiers in the Lutheran cemetery.

M. ——e—___ A Self-Confessed Murderer of Eleven legitimate Children. The Lebanan (Pa.) News contains the following startling information: “We are credibly informed by a gentle- man that the family of Mr. Isaac a well-known distiller of whiskey in t Hanover district, this county, some few years ago returned home from near Spring- field, Ohio, about three weeks seince. In a conversation be had with them terday they stated that after going bon this county they went ona farm purchased by Mr. Wagner, within six miles of: springfield. The cause for their retarn is, ae they stated, because Mr. Wagner was to be hanged to-day for the murder of an infant child of which he was the fa- ther. Rumors of his being the father of several children by women in bis employ while residing here, were prevalent at the time, but their disappearance was nev- er accounted for. Since his residence in the west he is alleged to have beeu guilty of the same thing, and his last attempt at destroying the lite of an infant was detect- ed by his sons whobrought him to justice. The excitement incident to the occasion broughtont an alleged attempted atlyneh- ing him, which was avoided by his con- fessing to having destroyed the lives of eleven illegitimate children, of which he was the father, at various times.

This little sentence should be writtem on every heart and stamped on ev memory. It should be the golden tid practised not only in every househeld, but throughout the world. By helping one another we not only remove thorns from the pathway, and anxiety from the mind, but we feel a sense of pleasure in our own hearts, knowing we are doing a daty to a fellow creature.

Let every township then be required to pay the expenses of its own insane in the Asylum.” Weare in favor of extending the ac- commodation for the insane, and would prefer to see it provided in some of our healthy and cheap Western ‘l’owns— Mor- ganton, Newton, or Asheville.

There will be no peace until this policy is adopted. a An exsGovernor of “distinction,” it is said, has expressed himself gs opposed to a Convention. We know of an ex-Govern- or of “distinction,” who, it is said, was opposed to Convention in 1871. The reason why is about as sensible as that which the fellow gives who did not like Dr. Fell. There are several gentlemen of “dis- tinction” aspiring to “distinguished” posi- tions, who fear the Convention move, lest it interfere with their selfish aima, This is the secrct of their opposition. But thanks to the good sense of the people, the time has passed when the ipse dizit of ex-Governors, or other so-called leaders, is listened to as the rule of action for the masses. These gentry are no longer oracles in the Jand, and they had as well dry up. The people now do their own thinking. ‘The tax-payers in 1871, with eighty thousand negroes and fifteen or twenty thousand carpet-baggers and scala- ‘wags massed against them, came very near carrying the Convention in the face of innumerable obstacles,-—regardless of the threats of interference by the Federal Govern ment, the intimidation of many of their own number, the opposition of ex Governors and other gentlemen of “dis- tinction,” and the next time they make the attempt they will succeed.

The Radical papers of, this State are Their argument is inex pepynet the same as that used by the Conservative papers that oppose it. Thus, says the Hillsboro Recorder : “the policy of our friends plays directly into the bands of the radical party which would perpetuate all the evils fixed upon us by the Constitution of 1868. That was radical work, and is for radical profit.” Not only 80, but in thus placing our- selves on the Radical platform, we assume the responsibility for Radical wrongs and misrale, and throw away every possible chance for Conservative triumphs hereaf- ter in this State: ‘The people will most surely repudiate a party that bears no fruits ; that has no higher mission than to keep its members in office ; that submits to and condones the crimes of Radicalism for the sake of the spoils of office. ————~o-——_——_ PersonaL.—We were favored last week by a vieit from our old friend Mr. Jobn Rosser, of Memphis. He is a native of Lancaster, S. C. He had not been in Charlotte since 1826. It was then a small hamlet of some dozen houses. The Catawba Journal was the only newspaper then published in all this section. Now almost every cross road has its organ.— Charlotte Home. The Catawba Journal was edited and published by Mr Lestven BrncuaM, who now resides in the town of Statesville. Mr. Brxcuam and the Hon. PHito WHITE, were joint editors and publishers of the Western Carolinian at Salisbury in 1822, or thereabouts. A year or two subsequent to that time Mr. Bingham re- moved to Fayetteville, and published the Fayetteville Observer, and at a etill later period removed to Charlotte and brought out the Catawba Journal, In 1828 he came back to Salisbury and published here the Yadkin and Catawba Journal. The Home may not know that Coopee & Krider, (Jacob Krider, Esq., of Mt. Vernon, Rowan County,) published a Magazine in Salisbury years before Bings ham & White’s time. But Coopee & Kri der were themeclves preceeded in the printing and publishing business by a German named Stoomp. If Salisbury is meant to be included in the remarks of the Home, it is not inappropriate to advert to these pioneers in the publishing busi- ness. a ae ARGUMENTS AGAINST A CONVEN- TION. Some opposition to the calling of a Con- vention at this time has been expressed. But there has really been no good reason given why we should not have a Conven- tion, and there has not been an argument uttered against it worth the paper on which it was written. A few papers bave declared their opposition, merely, without offering any satisfactory excuse for it. We Lave noticed that correspondents of cer- tain newspapers have vainly attempted to forestall public opinion in this matter.— They have generally written under ficti- tiong names, and as their arguments have been worthless they have produced to im- pression. As aspecimen of the arguments used in opposition to the maasure, we give the following taken from a correspondent of the Concord Sun: “T object to'a Convention on the fol- lowing gronnds, Ist We are ton poor to bear the additional expense and taxation. 2nd, It would be unwise and inexpedient, it might be attended with defeat and dis- aster. 3d, Many good men and true, who honestly attached theinselves to the Radi- cal Party at the ciose ot the war, are dis- gusted with the rascality of that party, and are justly indignant at the vile provi- sions of the Civil Rights Bill, voted with us in the last election, and this might be the means of driving them from our side.” If nothing better than the above can be said against the calling of a Convention, we thiuk all oppusition ought to cease at once. There is not a school boy who caa repeat the multiplication table and who knows any thing about the cost of legislation at all, who does not know the cheapest and surest possible method of changing the Constitution is by a Convention. The reason why it would be unwise and inex- pedient the writer does not say, unless, as he adds, ‘it might be attended with defeat and disaster.’ Not half so liable to be attended With defeat and disaster as the Legislative mode. But the 8rd reason, giyen in the aboveis a clincher! If there aré any who will be driven away from the Conservative party, because it durst at- tempt measures in a legal and Constitu- tional way for the relief of the people, we say let them go. ‘They are unworthy to be any where except in tho Radical Party. We know that the true manhood of N. payers, the white people, those most deep- ly interested in the good order and wel- fare of the State, rallied as one man in 1871 in favor of a Convention, and but for the timid who were driven away from the polls by the fear of Federal interfers ence, the negroes and scalawag whites for it.

If only repudiation of the Federal war debt and the bankruptcy of the Abolition thieves result as a reward to the self- righteous Northern people for their inter- ference with the South, we shall have nothing to regret. The Northerw people are rich, and they became so by making the South poor. They carried on a war of outright plunder aud spoiliation against the South for four years; they murdered in cold blood and robbed our people of every thing they could lay their hands on; by an act which puts ihe common treebooter to shame, they deprived the South of millions of money in slaves. At the end of actual hostilities, they were not satisfied with their innumerable robberies, and with having reduced the South to utter bankruptcy, but they at once began to tax their ingenuity to devise ways and means to further torment a people they bad robled and ruined. They opened their prisons and __ peniten- tiaries and sent forth their inmates as carpetbaggers among us ; they backed these firesbrands, these convicts and thieves, by the Federal army, and other- wise shielded and protected them “by ap- propriate legislation.’’ Thee base ins struments were to keep open the wounds of the war, fan the fires of discord, steal all that was left, and crush out the remain- ing. manhood of our people. For nearly ten years this system of outrage, wrong, plunder, and insult has been kept up, aud we seem to be no nearer the end than be- fore. So-called co-equal States are still trampled on and their rights ignored — There is no limit to the Federal power. Cunstitutions and laws are disregarded when they stand in the way of the pleas~ ure of the Presids4:t or hinder the progress of mere party a ee The most pios- perous, peaceable, and desirable portion of this onee happy Federal Union has been overrun and devastated and the peo le plunged into hopeless bankruptcy and humiliation ; yet we are asked to respect and even love the Government that has inflicted these wrongs. ‘Troops are still quartered among ts, while we are taxed to pay the cost of our subjugation and keep in trim the instruments of our op- pressicns, Why then should we care how soon bankruptcy overtakes the North, and repudjation follows in the wake of a dis~ solved and now miscalled Federal Re- public ? If a war of races does not come, it will not be because Northern malignity, Radi- cal hate, and Federal legislation have not conspired to bring it about. ‘The enforee- ment of the Civil Rights Bill is intended to be the trump card in the inauguration of this inhuman tragedy. If it fail, some other device will be adopted. So that we have no interest in condoning the crimes of our persceutors. We must determine to take care of ourselves. Peaceably if we may,—but let us resolve at all events to eat no more dirt, and cease to look North for kindness. We have no cause to fear that we shall ever be unable to take care of ourselves if we but act prudently. The time 1s not distant when friends will rise up to encourage us in our struggles against unconstitutional and lawless encroach~ ments. If there be no returning sense of justice in the North, the great West will ere long see the folly aid stupidity of crushing out so valuable a Commercial section as the South. Let us pnrsue the eyen tenor of our way, giving thanks to’ none hut God for our existence. a ts A masa meeting is called by the Democrats of Craven county to give ex- pression to their views in faver of a Con- vention. That is the way to do the thing. Let the people in all the Counties call their meetings and set forth their views about this matter. We wish to hear from the people ou this subject and not from the time~serving, office-seeking, responsive patriots who are ever ready to give us a column or two of their milk and cider argu- ments on whichever side the interrogater may designate. No innovations resulting in the public good have ever originated with such characters. No grand and liv- ing schemes of nationa! or State policy — no great measures of reform, have ever been inaugurated by the mere policians and so-called statesmen. All such meas- ures have originated for the most part with the people—with the bold, independent spirits who scorne the subtifuges, low cunning, and selfish expediency of the clap trap politicians. When good meas- ures are thus introduced, aud it is evident great philosopher is superseded, Davy! jurisprudence. eagerly pick them ap an Universal Suffrages hobby, of several years.ago. They shun change ap: the} or alf efforts to rulé States for vorrupt par- devil does holy~ water, no ‘matter how much good it promises the people. They are powerful fellows to make| promises, bat they never fulfill them. In short, they will do nothing boldly aud manly, when there is the slightest possibility of a change being wrought that is likely to interfere with their official aspirations. Let the PEOPLE therefore speak out. It is to them we look for good result. POOR DAVY ! Be sure youare right and then go ahead, was the watch word of one who was in many respects amoral Philosopher whose counsels and life are worthy of the most profound stady and respect. Would that we had more Davy Crockets now a-days ! Would that more of our public teachers, editors, lawyers and doctors, would act upon the the advice given by him. It is distressing to see how many of these jump at conclusions. To day they will take a position, as a feeler ; to-morrow they will eat their words, because some big man saystheir action is premature, inexpe~ dievt, impolitic. Principle, manliness and justice have no part in the politics, composition and doctrine of these cham- pious of the times. Policy, expcedieney, The watchword of the Poor is every thing. —_— OUR CONSTITUTION. The Raleigh Sentinel referring to the judicial contest between Wilson and Cloud, says: ‘‘A constitution which can- not clearly show who is Judge certainly needs amendment. Jo Dobson, the Solici- tor, ordering the Sheriff who to recognize as Judge, was certainly a chapter on con- stitutional government and carpet-bag We have no reason to complain of Jo’s decision. Le has given the people an honest and a good Judge. And here we would remark that honesty in a Judge is more to be desired than great learning.” But the Constitation is equally indifi- nite and unreliable on many other matters. In fact, it is ag utterly unsuited to the wants of the people of North Carolina, as ig the Code of Civil Procedure expensive aud cowplex. But, unlesz a Convention is called, we must suff-r the inconveniences it imposes indifiuitely. The legislative mode, or patchiug process, will take near- ly five years, and we will probably have The necessity for a Convention is absolute. rE & Worse conustitulion then than now. BUNCOMBE. We publish in another column a com- munication from ‘*Dimucrar” in response to a paragraph that appeared in the WATCHMAN relative to the vote of Buns combe, about two weeks ago. Our figures about the votcs given Pool and Purnell were taken from our Raliegh exchanges. The vote as stated by us was published in two of the Raleigh Dailies, and as we had not at that time seen the vote of the county we concluded that that given by the News and Sentinel was correct, and should not have noticed the error had our attention not been called to the matter specially. In regard to the other matter published by “Democrat,” we know nothing, and permit its insertion in these colamue in order that the parties referred to may have a chance to set themeeclves right, if wronged. For the Watchman, Messrs. EDITORS: In your issue of the 3d inst., you speak of the vote of this, (Buncombe) County as a grand puzzle. While L am not surprised at you and the balance of mankind being puzzled at the vote cast bere, you are greatly in error when you say that, Purnell carried the County. Col. Pool carried it by a majority of near 900. But it is true that we elected a Radical tothe Legislature and that by avery large vote—200 ahead of our regular nominee when the Democratic majority in the County is near 500! But this is not the worst thing we did, Maj. Avery our nominee for So- licitor was beaten in the County by nearly 600 yotes and our nominee for Superier Court Clerk only received 442 votes when thestrength of the party is over 1300! Well, you naturally ask, what was the matter—what brought all this about, Well, Sirs, this is what you and the World ought to know, and I propose to tell you. Gen. Vance, as you know, was the nomi- nee (so-called) of our party for Congress. He and his friends, who had “‘packed” him in, had great fears of his success, and they so managed that he was to be elected if it cost the head of every other nominee in the District. The Press of the District was so controlled in the interest of Vance that not a word was said against the Radicals or. any Independent except Durham ! Radicals and Independents were all clever fel- lows provided they were for Vance! other nomi+ Nees could go to the dogs as they could well afford to sacrafice these little fellows for the sake of the nominee (?) for Congress! You think strange, I have no doubt, of this, but if you earidcinderacard how the said nominee (?) for Congress was gotten on the track, you would not be surprised what it cost to the party to elect him—-when 3 men in one County, 5 in an- other, 7 in another, &., meet withont notice and hold a big (?) County Convention and ap- point delegates to the Congressional Convention, and in case said delegates can’t attend, appoint certain kinfolks and friends of Gen. Vance as roxies, then you can begin to understand what ey: about the “Grand Puzzle” !—then you would not be astonished at Radicals being elect- ed for Clerk and Pepresentatives in a strong Democratic County! This is bad enough I confress, but there is a darker picture yet to be presented if this is not sufficient.

It is so obvious that physical and constitu- that even the vendors of drastic purgatives ad- vertise them as tonics, stomachics and invigor- ants, in the hope of enlisting the confidence of the public in the devitalizing and pernicious potions. It is amusing to note how these im- postors imitate and copy the language in which the medicinal properties of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are discribed. Although the effect of their rasping evacuants is to destroy the tone of the disgestive organs and the bowels, and to rob the system of its vital strength, they are un- scrupulously recommended to the weak and prostrate victims of disease as stimulants! It is time this humbug (not a very successful one it is true, thanks to the mature common sense of the American people) was stigmatized, as it deserves. Such mischievous falsehoods should be exposed pro bono publico. Hostetter’s Stom- ach Bitters, be it distinctly understood, is a stimulant. It has a spirituous basis, and that basis is the vehicle which diffuses its wonderful sanitary principles through every part of the system. The tonic, alterative and regulating ingredients of the Bitters would be compara- tively inert ifthey were not, so to speak, carried to the localities where they are required by the stimulating agent. The cant which protests against the use of a pure alcoholic fluid, when employed asa means of giving full effect to medicinal extracts of the highest utility, is the cant of charlatanism. Every intelligent physi- cian so characterizes it, and the sick who are griped, convulsed and debilitated by the nau- seous and disgusting nostrums of the parties who put it forth, soon find to their sorrow that it is a delusion and a snare. Hostetter’s Bit- ters, the great sanitary stimulant of the age, is, in the truest sense of the words, a wholesome, vitalizing, renovating preparation. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. WANTED.

The fifth session of the Rowan Snn- day School Association was beld at Sas Jem Church in this county on the 19th and 20:h of August last. A goodly number of delegates was present. ‘I'he following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That in the opinion of this Association, it is the bouudeu duty of this body to use all practicable means to a- wakeu a deeper interest in the Sanday School cause in this county; and we do recommend, that wherever it be expedient, we establish Bible Classes, and Sunday Schools wherever ten pupils can be gots ten to attend. Resolved, That a committee consisting of one member from - each denomination here represented be appointed to consider the propriety of recommending for the use of our Sunday Schools the International Uniform Lesson System, John K. Graham read the following : Resolved, That the thanks of this Con- vention are due and are hereby tendered to the good people of this congregation aud community, for their kindness and hospitality to the members and visitors during the session of this Association.

From an exchange we clip the following : “This vast combination has taken the citizens of Pittsburgh and Allegheny by storm. Vast appreciative audiences crowd that he could not be present, being kept away on official duty.

He is now equally well prepared to furnish meals to those who wish it, and he always has the best the market affords. Lewis Scales, a small colored youth not having the fear of the law or man before his eyex, entered the tin shop of Messrs.

Stickney and Wilson, and the great inenage act of Miss E:inma Lake, are witnessed with adiuiration, and are worthy the euthusastic and flatter- ing reception accorded them.

They sear the conscience, incrust the soul with an impenetra- ble shell of worldiness, debauch the affections from ever high and heavenly object, and make man or woman the worshipper of self. While doing all this, the poor victim is allowed by public opinion to think himself or herselfa Christian ; while tne drunkard, the gambler or the prostitute is not deceived by such athought for a moment.—Dr. Crosby. THE VALUR OF EXTRADITION Laws.—A curious exemplification of the value of extra- dition laws was furnished in the courts yester- day by the arrest of a merchant charged with burglary committed at Stockholm in July last. The man confessed his crime, and will probably be sent back to Sweden tostand his trial. With the progress of enlightenment dishonest people may probably discover that roguery docs not pay. Nothing is more likely to exercise a restraining influence on the dishonest than the knowledge that wherever they go they remain Maj. M, D. L. McLeod.—Messrs.

All but foar coun- ties have been heard from, Officially and semmi-officially. and by adding np the vote given in the tabulated statement presented: elsewhere, it will be seen that the inajority thus far is about 11,800. The counties to be heard from will iucrease this at least 700. So the Democratic majority will not fall short of 12,500. It cannot be claimed that this splendid result is the effect of a light vote. PURNELL, it is true, tall behind the CALDWELL vote; but Col. Poor will lead MeRRIMON about 1000. If the Congressional vote is taken as a basis, more than 100.000 Democratic ballots were cast on the 6th inst This is the largest unmber ever befure pulled by sny party in the State, and goes to show thatthe Democratic strength is stéadily increasing— starting with 72.000 votes io 1863 ; giving 84.601 for Seymour in the same year ; 87,- 000 for Surpp in 1870 ; 96.731 for MERRIMON it 1872; and 100,000 in 1874. These fig- ures are-signiticant, whea it is understood that the Radical party started with 96,000 in 1868, and its fall strength and largest vote was polled in 1872 when CALDWELL received 93,630. If mean and office-seeking white men would let the negro alone there would be uo difficulty with him, and he would soon quit meddling in politics, as he has already found out that voting does not procure bread and meat, Every man who is “diligent in business, serving the Lord,” is a sermon brimful of the energies of life and truth; a witness to the comprehensiveness and adaptability of Chriat’s religion: a preacher of righteous- ness in scenes where none can preach sc effectively or so well.--Bayne. Cicero, who was born 106 years before Christ, wrote: “I consider this world as a place which nature never intended for my permanent abode, and I look on my de- parture from it not as being driveu from my habitation, but simply as leaving an inn.” It is the Sabbath day. Let evil ims aginings, hatred, cares, be put aside. Stop strife. Beat peace with your neigh- bor, if you cannot be with your God. But, by all means, be at peace with him. Go to the sanctuary to-day. Hear the story of devine love, and resolve upona better and a truer life. “The greatest step to heaven is ont of our door, over onrown threshold.

We should cither regard the South as a military conquest and govern it by pro- consuls, or asa sovereign clement of the Union and worthy fraternal soverciga rights. if we cannot trust the Southern States let us restore the military depart~ ment and send our generals down to com- mand them. Such a change would be welcome in some rcepects, for there would eertainjy be no war bctweee races, no legs islative repudiation. If, on the contrary, we can trust the Southern States as sister severeign commonwealth, then we must show a fraternal and courageos feeling, Boys, po you Tran Toar?—A New Orleans paper tells of a printer who, when hia fellow workmen went out to drink beer, during the working hours, put in the bank the exact amount which he would have spent if he had goue out to drink. He thus kept his resolution for five years. He then examined his bank account and found that he had on deposit $021.86. In the five years he had not lost a day from ill-health. Three out of five of his fellow workmen had jn the meantime, become drankards, were worthless and were dis- charged. ‘The water drinker then bought out the printing office, went on enlarging basiness, and in twenty years from the time be began to put by his money, was worth $100,000. ‘I'he story, whether old or new, teaches a lesson which every boy pad young man should lay to heart.

About three werks ago ter father carried her upto New Garden to attend the Fricnds meciing at that place, and as she had been complaining of dropsy he left her there with the understanding that she would go up to the mountains and spend some time for the benefit of her health. On last Tharsday night she went to the New Garden depot to take the train to come to this place, the train being bes hind time. After staying a while she concluced the train had passed by when she returned to the family she was stay< ing with. After returning she was taken with, she said, asevere case of cramp colic, and on some pretextshe sent the girl, who was waiting on her outof the room, locked the doorand refused to let her in agajn. The girl reported to the family that she heard a ery in the room and it was pometime before she would open the door to any of them, and only did so after threats to break ithe door down. After getting in ,search was made and the body of a child, with its throat cut was found in a traveling satchel. ‘I'he girl made her escape, but we hear she has been arrested What the se oe . No law of the United States was offen- ded which called for the intervention of the President.

The following interesting observation on the changes that occur trom hour to hour during the incubation of the hen’s eggs is from Saturn’s Reflection: The hen has searcely sat on her eggs twelve hours before some linaments of the head and body of the chicken appear. The heart may be seen to beat at the end of the second day ; it has at that time somewhat the form ofa horse-shoe, but no blood yet appears. At the end of two days two vessels of blood are to be dis- tinguished, the pulsation of which is visible ; one of these is the left ventricle, and the other the root of thegreat artery. At the fif- tieth hour one auricle of the heart appears, resembling a noose folded down upon itself, The beating of the heart is first observed in the auricle, and afterward in the ventricle. At the end of seventy hours, the wings are distinguished, and on the head two bub- bles are seen for the brain, one for the bill, andtwo four the fore and hind part of the head. Toward the fend of the fourth day, the two aurieles already visible draw nearer to the heart than before. The liver appears toward the fifth day. Atthe end of seven hours more, the lungs and the stomach be- come visible, and 4 hours afterwards the in- testines aud loius and the upper jaw. At the une hundred and forty-hour two ventri- cles are vissible, and two drops of blood in- stead of the sing! eone which was seen before. the seventh day the brain begins to have some consistency, At the one hundred and ninetieth hour of incubation the bill opens, and the flesh appears in the breat In four hours more the breast bone is seen. In six hours after this the ribs appear, forming from the back, and the Sill is very visible, as well asthe gall bladder. The bill be- comes green at the end of two hundred and thrity-six hours, and if the chicken be taken out of its covering it eyidently moves itself. Atthe two hundred and sixty- fourth hour the eyesappear. At the two hundred and eighty- eight the ribs are perfect. At the three hundred and thirty-five the spleen draws near the stomach and the lung to the chest. At the end of three hundred and _ fifty-five hours the bill frequently opens and shuts, and at the end of the thirteenth day of the first cry of the chinken is heard. It after- wards gets more strength and grows contin- tinally till at length it is enabled to set it- self free from its confinement. ONE BOX A PERFECT CURE FOR CHILLS AND FEVER.

The proprietor guarantees you an absolute and perfect cure. Reference is made to the extraordinary cure of Professor Lawrence, Principal of the Insti tutes of Elocution at New York and Philadel- phia. He says as follows: “About ten years ago. while residing in New Jersey, I hada violent attack of chills and fever. The chill would come on regularly about ten o’clock, and continue fer nearly two hours, followed by a burning fever for more than five hours, whichno medicine would relieve ; and I became so week that I could hardly walk across the room,and could not ascend one flight of stairs in less time than ten minutes. My life became a burden to me. I loathed every kind of food, and even water tasted to me like copperas, I could get no refreshing sleep either by night or by day; the medicine prescribed for ine by physicians gave me no relief, and I was fast sinking into the grave. One day a lady perswaded me to pur chase a box of Bellamy’s Pills. Itook three attwelye o’clock noon, and three at night’. After anne the two doses I felt better, and that night, for the first time in three months, slept for fally eight hours, The next morning I felt much better, and took three more pills. As ten o'clock approached I prepared myself for my daily chill, but to my intense joy my unwelcome visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o’clock, I took three more pills, and at night three more. The next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at seven o'clock, feeling quite well; and althuugh still very week, yet I was able to en- everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me. In about seven days’ time I was strong enough to walk four miles, and felt perfectly cured Ten years have elapsed since then, and I have never had another attack of Chills and Fever. “P. LAWRENCE, “NEW YORK CONSERVATORY OF Music “5 East;l4th Street.” In conclusion, the proprietor has only to state that he will guarantee to cure any case of Chills and Fever. No jee will ever in such case be exacted. The patient is at liberty to pay ar not. All thet is desired is, that he will yards certificate of his cure at an early ate.

It is re- markable not only for the and variety of its sewing, but also for the variety and different kinds of texture which it will sew with equal facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen or cotton t , fine or making the INTER- LOCKED-ELASTIC-STITCH, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus, beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great strength and uniformity of stitch; and, in a moment, this willing and never-wearying instrument may be adjusted for fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or ine tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or almost any other work which delicate fingers have been known to perform. . And with its simplicity of construction; ease of operation; uniformity of PRECISE action at any speed; capacity for range and variety of work, fine or coarse—leaving all rivals behind it. We with pleasure refer the ae to the Gold and Bronze Medals and Diplomas awarded to our Machines in America, Prussia, England, and recently in Austria at the Exposition in Vienna, where we were awarded five Medals, Merit, Pro- gress, and three for articles manufactured on our Machines. But it gives us much greater pleasure, to present to the public the sworn returns of sale, (to which any one can have access) of the difter- ent Manufacturers of Machines, for the last four years, made to the receiver appointed by the owners of valuable Sewing Machine Patents, and which shews the precise number of machines sold by each Company. 1871 1872 1869 1870 The reader will also note that although it is charged that Sewing Machines are sold at en- ormously high prices, yet he will gee that sever- al firms, that were in existence have failed or abandoned an amprofitable business.

Walker’s California Vin- Bitters are a purely V le tion, made chiefly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- pia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. ‘The question is almost daily asked, ‘What is tho cause of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT- TERS?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing tho remarkable qualities of VingGar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. ey are & gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs Bilious The properties o1 5% WALKER’S VIXEGAR BITTERS are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. > Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnx- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful In- Vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. : - No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon theso various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with whieh the bowels aro loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and gencrally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify tho body against disease by purifying all its fluids with ViNzGaR BItTERs. No epidemic can tako hold of a system thus forc-armed.

There was an old horse, who had “taken his stand” By the side of a street, in the famed “Dixie land,” Ev'ry week-day for forty lung years, more or less, (As, forgetting to score, I shall now have to guess,) In the “curved line of beauty” his back swaying low— Only three legs he had, when not aiming to go— Aristocrat bipe-bones looked “high and away"’ From the phalanx of spare-ribs that letin the day— . : A square-built and lofty, decaying old roan, * Whose first speed and bottom were going and gone— A family relic—a fossil old nag, Whose past we would often dig over and brag— And his name it was Derie; (~'m willing to vow That my limping Muse canters in dog- gerrell now,) Yet I'll wager this equiue Job stood a deal more, Than Bucephalus dared; and he ranked far before Rosinante, in all the original points Of his ugliness dire and distortion of joints— Joan of Are’s filly or J. Casar’s pad, Which leaped o’er the Rubicon, looked half so bad— Through the summer-heats blvod-thirsty flies— Through the winter-winas wiping big tears from his eyes ‘“Gainst the lamp-post where he was hitch- ed every day Foz to watch and to wait—fur to fight and to pray For to lash his raw sides with his atuinpy old tail— For to stainp iu the mud with his hoof and his nail— For to ponder his sad, disin al fate o’erand v’er— For to wish that his scratchy heels wern’t quite so sure— Some coutrabaud lay-sermons preach In the buggy-shaft pulpit-stand, and to be- seech From the touraament bot-flies a moments re- lief’-- (Like Patience’s monament, grinuing at Grief.’’) For to long for his oats—for moralize, And to dream of a home beyond town- roufs and skies. Where the good horses never get hungry or cold, And the goody colts never, oh ! never get old, Where they whinuy and suort around, kick up their heels, And dauce all the day to the cavalry reels, And lie down at night and sleep soundly till morn In gold liv’ry stables, crammed full of sound coro, Rye, barley and fodder, and sweet clover hay, And soft beds of aod Gray, Lee's gallant old Whiter and Bonaparte’s Lear, The Icelandic pen¥ and Arab’s pet mare; In that Lome, to whieh wafted by buszard’s ewit wicgs. Whip, harness and spcr are things ; Just sixty leagues off from the dry desert field Where the ‘ cussed mule” wild thistle’s yield, And bruvils in the hot sun a billion of years Justto make up for kicking clear out of his gears. Now skeptical reader, give Dixie his due. And harbor no doubts that my legend is true—- For without some air-castles, some mirage of hope, Tow can man or beast either with life’s evils cope ? And how could poor Dixie have borne it so long, Without some such reflections as these in my song? There he stood, as a sentinel firm to his post, While his ‘blood, sweat and tears’’ on the sidewalk were lust, In a ‘‘cause”’ which the good horses all must approve—- Asthe ‘lone etar’ of duty, obedience and love, A-waiting and waiting for master to ride, Through the long weary hours, till I'd thought he’d have died ; But he held out so well, that the horse- prophets swore He would always be there and would live evermore As a ourb-stone fixture and bot-fly's nest— Asa statue of Pain and au emblem of Rest. Not fighting at loud for to to deep straw, made for Dixie impossible picketh the But I -‘missed him’? at last from his wonted horse ‘‘perch,”’ Or gaily a-fishing down. at: she Big Shoal, Or a-taking a holiday pagture stroll, Or a-visiting round the neighboring steeds—-- Bet Ifhe staid at home, his deeds-- If a spell of the colic or If he'd sprained bis left to trot—- s x If the old tuwn would ever look natural more ve Fill “the staad” he resumed that he kept long before. e ‘ efr-oe e e ® 8 *. ‘Twas an eve lute in Autumn—the winds whistled low Through the bleak woodsand meadows, and inurmured of snow,’, ; As I strolled in the wide sedgy fields near the town, Lost in reveries deep and in life-studies brown, When, aroused by the flapping of great, sturdy wings, I was shocked by the sight of the strangest of things ! Pale Death is impartial—he knocks at the gate Of the cottage or palace—though sometimes he’s late!

Mr. Editor: Tam giad to know the Grangers have under cunsideration the propriety of establisl.ing a Bank, and to fix the rate of interest at 6 to 8 per cent. We think the idea a good one, and might be easily accomplished by the Grangers under their organization, and the rate of terest reduced, and more money made at a low rate of interest than at the pres- ent usurious rate charged by our present Banks. Before the war our Banks paid the Stockholders 5 per cent, every six months, and bad a large surplus to carry Protit and Loss account. ‘his 10 per cent. annualy was paid clear of all taxes and expenses. Why can't it be done again? It certainly can be done. ‘The profits of a Bank is made by promptness and frequent turning over the same money or interest paid every 30, 60 or 90 days. Go on Grangere, combine your means, establish your Bank, and in a few years you can have a branch in every Oongres- ional District, and if you choose in every county in the State, aud you will deserve more credit than all politicians in the State. WAKE. —_———_- bo How THE Earry VIRGINIANS GOT Wives.—The history ot the Commons wealth of Virginia, says the Richmond Whig, commences with an auction sale— not, however, in a store, but ben2ath the green trees of Jamestown, where probably the most anxious and interested crowd of auction habitues ever kuown io the history of the world were gathered. In a letter, still to be seen, dated London, August 21, 1621, and directed to a worthy colonist of that settlement, the writer begins by aay- ing: “We send you a shipment, one widow and eleven maids, for wives of the people of Virginia. There has Leen especial care in the choice of them, for there hath not one of them been received but upon good recommendations. In case they cannot be presently married we desire that they may be put with several householders that have wives until they can be provided with husbands.” But the writer of this reason to fear that any the “maidens faire” would be left over. The archives coutain evidence to prove that these first cargoes of young ladies were put up at auction and eold for one hundred and twenty pounds of tobaceo each, and it was ordered that this debt should have prece- dence of all others. ‘The solitary ‘‘one widow” went along with the others, for they could not be particular iu those days. The good minister of the colony no doubt had a busy time that day. He did not mention any fees, nor did the bridegrooms think of tendering any. All was joy and gladness, no storms ahead ; noiusquisitive clerk to stand and say “Here's the license istle had little oP And I wondered if he could have gone to the ebarch, { fork over the $1.’ Nothing of the surt. From some of these couples the firet fam- ilies of Virginis are decended. MBER, 24, 1874. Puts a New Complexion on the Case. [Atlanta Herald.] Tt seems that after all Mr. Davis and hie coadjators have wasted mach fine en= thusiasm and euergy of denunciation up» on crimes that were got ap to order.— Wheu Col.. Howard, last Wedoesday at the great DeKalb mass meeting, ‘warned the Democracy of the tricks of the enemy and among other diabolical devices he spoke of this very Gibson county outrage, as it was called, we could see an exchange of inerednioas smiles even among good Democrats. The speaker declared then and there that he believed Mr. Davis had been imposed upon by the firet reports of the massacre, and that before the cam. paign was over we would find eut that thie Gibson county lie was only part and par- cel of an infamous scheme of party man agement that was inaugurated iu 1865 by men who ought trom their position to be reputable. It seems that Col. Howard was exactly right. It seems that sixteen negroes were involved in the Gibson county barbarities. Six of these had peached on their gang of cut-throats and it was precisely these traitors to their set that the “eighty six masked horsemen” sacceeded in killing. ‘Che other ten es~ caped, and left, like birds flitting through the air, neither track nor sign. Never in civilized bistory have men go outraged all social and religious obligations to sccure the base ends of party power, as we find in the history of the Radical party in this country. Even murder itself changes its bellixh type, and becomes a pastime and a frolic to these men, who after deluging the entire land in blood for the sake of par- ty success, now keep alive the fires of perdition rather than lose their hold on the power and plander that place-holding affords. What can be said of the South- ern man who aids and abets this ravening horde, either directly or indirectly. ——— ~~ Witt Grant BE a Waite Man ?— Under this heading, the Richmond Dis- patch of yesterday says: Will Grant allow bis troops to stifle the will of the people of Louisiana? Will he prove to be false to hia race and to his country? Will he reinstate a usurper, well knowing him to be such? Will he sustain a robber? Will be support a double.dyed traitor to his race, his State, and his country? Will he not rather des cide, as in the case of Arkansas, to hold off and allow the people to decide the questions at issue 7 But if the President shall come to the conclusion that he cannot recognize Me- Enery as the lawful Governor of Louis- iana, let him at least refuse to restore the usurper. He knows that he usurped the office, and was supported in it by the ac. tion of a corrupt Federal judge who also usurped jurisdiction in a case which he could not lawfully have entertained. He knows that Kellogg cannot maintain bim- self in office unless aided by Federal bay- onets. Pitch him overboard, whatever else you may do, Mr. President. —~<—>-—___ From the Norfolk Landmark.

NUMBER l. In the Jeafy month of June, in the year of grace 1667, that merry monarch and somewhat dissolute man, Charles the Se- cond, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, De- fender of the Faith, &c., &c., was gracious- ly pleased to grant unto his “right trusty and well beloved cousing and counsellor, Edward, Earl of Clarendon, our High Chancellor of England; our right trusty and entirely beloved cousin and couneel- lor, George, Duke of Albermarle, master of our horse,” and with like expressions of courtesy and insiocere regard, to the Ear! of Craven, Lord Berkley, Lord Ash- ley, Sir George William Berkley, the most magnificent domain ever conferred by a soverign upon subjects in modern timer, or perhaps in all time. Little did Charles know what he was giving, and as little did these subjects kuow what they were received. Even now but few con~ sider tbe imperial character of the terri- tory granted. It embraced ‘all that province, territory, or tract of land, situate, lying and being witbio our dominions of America extending north and eastward as far as the north end of Curritack river or inlet, upon a straight waterly line to Wyonoak creek, which lies within or about he degrees of thirty-six and thirty minutes, northero latitude ; and 60 west ina direct line as far as the South Seas; and south and westward as far as the degrees of twenty- nine, inclussive, of northern latitude ; and so west in a direct line as faras the South Seas ; together with all and singular the ports, harbors, bays, rivers, and inlets be- onging unto the province or territory aforesaid : and also all the soils, lands, fields, wooda, mountains, farms, lakes, rivers, bays and islets,” Kc. &c., to be therein. THIS VAST EXPANSE stretches acroes the entire continent, from ocean to ocean; five hundred miles in breadth and two thousand seven handred miles in length, and embraced an area of sore than one million equare miles.

Within these boundaries now lie the States of North and South Oarolina, Georgia, a large part cf Forida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tex- as, the Indian Territory .New Mexico, Arizona, a large par; of California, and a considerable portion of Mexico. It is more than eight times as large as Great Britain and Ireland, five times larger than France, four times larger thau the Austrian Empire, eight times greater than Prassia, and larger by many thous- ands of equare miles, than all these to~ gether with Spain, Portugal and Italy combined! Almost equal to one-third of Europe! Trae, it may be said, that this doaghty defender of the Faith and Neill Gwin, was about as mach entitled toa large part of this domain as he was to be called ising of France by the Grace of God ; but, nevertheless, his right was about as good as that of any European prince to American soil. Perhaps it was even better than that acquired to all the shores washed by the Pacific Ocean by the erection of a standard on its sands and wading into its waves with a drawn sword by Balbon, forthe Spanish sover- ign. With this grant of land was also cons ferred upon the Lords Proprietors, juris- diction, as ample as the territory, to es- tablish government, convene legislative assemblies, make laws to pass upon lib» erty, property and life; to grant pardons, regulate commerce, collect customs, wage, war, create armies, exereise martial law, grant tittles of honor, and many other things pertaining to vice regal govern ment that was in substance absolute ; the only proviso being “That said laws be consonant to reason, and as near as may be conveniently agreeable to the laws and customs of this our realm of Eng~ land.” There seems to be no donbt that THE NAME OF CAROLINA was first applied to this whole Atlantic coast, and in this respect Virginia ia the child of her daughter, the child being christened first. In 1562 Gaspaid de Coligny, the great Admiral of France, diepatched an expedition of two ships under Jean Ribaud on a voyage, the real purpose of which, under pretense of dis« covery, was to select a home for himself and his persecuted fellow Hugenota in the wilds of the new world, should they be unable to maintain themselves by arms athome. Ribaud landed near the pres- ent sit of St. Aagustine, on the northern border of Florida, explored the country, and returned with glowing descriptions of the land and climate. The Admiral was so charmed with the repurt that be de- termined to found a colony of his Pro. testant countrymen there, and according- ly, in 1567, he dispatched six ships with about 500 souls, nnder the charge of Rene Laudoniene. ‘hey landed on the same spot as Riband’s party, built a fort which they called Arzx Carolina or Fort Charles, and named the country Caroline or Carolina after the wretched bigot Charles IX. of St. Bartholomew memory. Twenty years afterwards, when Walter Raleigh’s colony, under Ralplb Lane, was first established on Roanoke Island, and Amidas and Barlow had carried back to Queen Elisabeth their enchanting stores ot the country, its inhabitants and pro- ducts, she was so pleased that she order~ ed the land to be called Virginia, in hon- orofher virgin self. Thus the name Virginia superseeded that of Carolina, until it was subsequently revived by the patente of Elizebeth’s sucessors and ap- plied to the territory eouth of 36 degrees, 30 minutes. ‘The fave of this colony gave rise to one of THE MOST ROMATIC and heroic incident even of those chival- rous and advanturous times. The Spany iarde, who claimed the whole continent, resented this intrusion of the French Pro- testants, and sent a force under command of Admeral Menendoz against them. They surrendered to overpowering num- bers on a promise of safety, but, witha perfidy which no modern European ex- cept a Spaniard could ever equal, they were immediatly slaughtered. A few who escaped to the furest were captured and hang upon the trees with the eruel but characteristie inscription upon their bodies, “Not as Frenchmen but as Here- tics.”” The blood of these murdered French- men cried in vain to the corrapt and bigoted Freuch court. The gratification of intolerant hatred to Protestants, in hearing of their slaughter, was great as to drown the voice even of natioual pride ; and no redress for the cruel outrage was demanded by the government. Butit was not so with their brave countrymen. A Gascon gentleman, Donsinique de Gour gues, a beld, patriotic and glory loving soldier aud navigator, after exhausiing all other efforts to avenge the murder of his countrymen, to do it himeelf. Seiling his entire estate he built a few small ships, fitted them out at his owa expense, and without a band of choosen companions into whom he had infused his gallant spirit, boldly set his prows towards a coast three thousand mies distant across au ocean swarming with the ships of the mightest power in Europe, in search of the murderers of his countrymen. In due time he found them, and with his Gallic blood on fire, came down upon the Span- ish colony like the avenger of blood.

If intellect and study, abstracted from all contract ‘With actual life, could under any circumstane ces found a government adapted to she wants of a distant pcople, it would sepm that this great Englishman, who had sounded the depths and shallows of the haman mind, would have done it. Yet this work, prepared with the utmost care and tried with patient fairness, proved an utter failure. The simple conceptions of the rude pioncer, squatting in the forest without books, papers or Icarning to read them, in regard to the laws he wanted, were worth all the fine meditations of the disciple of Aristotle and Plato..

Pre-natal baby garments are never remarkable as ifs, and I faney the crude, red faced, squalling colomy of Carolina, wrapped in the flowing and courtly robes of the “Fundamental Oon- stitution” resembled very much a new born infant, (though born to be a bruiser) done up in one corner of a suit of long clothes ! Practical people could sedan abundance of government and bat very little baby, and snrely, if a man of coms mon sense will look over the one hundred and twenty sections of that instrument, and compare its absurdities and sentimen- tal regnements with rude but homely code with the colonists built ap for themselves piece by piece, each born of a want and tested by the fire of experience, he can- not fail, to see where the fine gold of gow. ernmental policy is dug up, and be will feel that this great folly of making s Ttopian Constitution eos and sh o ing it to a strange people like a cargo’ shoes, regardicss of size and nambers, is only atoned by the grim joke of pious King Charles, expressed L-rds, wherein he says they have sought the grant “be- ing excited with laudible and pions Sor the propagation of the Christian faith!” No donbt of it all!

Virginia has already pet up a claim to him, however. ee eee LOUISIANA IN BRIEF. Nearly two years ago the people of Lovisisns, not dreaming that our so-called Federal Republic is a Military despotism, held an election tor Governor and other Brats officers. The Conservatives carried the State by several thousand majority, eleeting a Governor, Leu’t. Governor, otber State officers and a large majority of the members to the State Legislature. This success of the Conservatives disap- pointed and chagrined the Radicals, who _at once set about Jevi-ing means to pre- vent the iuauguration ot the Conservative ofBcers elect. A drunken Radical Judge was found to declare the election illegal po far as the Conservatives were concerned, bat legal for the Radicals; that is, He declared in substance, that though the Conservatives had carried the State by many thousand majority, they had done eo by casting illegal votes, and that the Radical candidates were therefore proper- ly elected and intitled to the control of the Brate Government. This decision put in Kellogg, the coward and thief, as Gov- ernor. The people entercd their protest, and appealed to Grant and to Congress. Grant sustained the decision of the drunk- en Judge, Durell, and backed up Kellogg with United States’ troops. Congress when it met declined to take any action jn the matter. So things - have been growing from bad to worse, until the rob- beries, insults and wrongs heaped upon the people could be borne no longer. The people appealed to Kellegg to abdicate ; he declined, and they rose in their might and drove him and his subordiates from the public offices. ‘They then proceeded to notify the Federal Government, that they entertained no hostility toward that Goyernment, and that their object fo exercising the right of revolution was to rid themselves of the thieves and usur- pers that infested the public offices. This riled our AutocratP resident, aud he proceed- ed to marshal hia troopa and ship them to Louisiana to crush out the yising senti- ment of the people—to emothir liberty, to bury State sovereignty, and trample upon constitutional prerogatives; and over all ¢o set in State the hideous, reeking sneak, usurper and plunderer, Kellogg. Verily, this last act of Grant and his tools was like the mad French elevating to the seat of virtue in the sacred precincts of the sanct- arary the filthy prostitute and bowing be- fore her as an object worthy of their ad- oration. The Model Republic. The Richmond Whig says, the recent affairs in Louisiana throws a broad light on the real status of the ‘best Govern- ment the world ever saw,’’ A so-called movereign State of the Union reduced by military coercion to the condition of a province, stands forth in bold relief. The fact that free government was only by eufferance was already fully appreciated by sound thiukers and real statesmen, and vecent events impart no new information to such minds. But to shallow minds aud superficial thinkers they are unmistakable and convincing manifestations. ‘he whole North, and European government will | now be forced to see, that government by consent of the governed —the boasted in-~ vention of the Fathers, is nothing more than pulvis et umbra—a mockery and delusion. The discovery will no doubt be hailed with satisfaction by the despots of Europe. Ta ihe long lapse of human existence, free governments have been of bricf duration, at rare intervals, aud as it} were the creatures of accident. ‘The ‘American experiment, with a fresh and energetic population and a toundlese con- tinent of tertile land, promised a fairer prospect of success and duration than any previous atiempt 1: was well calculated to disturb the slumbers of all the despots of the Old World. ‘They will now sleep in peace. But in the Northern States, this is a result which the great mass of the people of that section neither expected por desired. In crashing the rebellion and proclaiming secession to be treason, they ha-e accomplished more than they designed. ‘(hey vot only extinguished State independence aud individual treedom in the conquered States, but they created a central power, capable of extinguishing _tbeir own freedom. The ruling of a . drunken or corrupt judge in Massachu- getts,or New York, or Jilinois, might be ~ geized upon with equal propriety for the , subversion of the popalar will in those — Mommonwealths as in Loujsiana. All the . States, in theory at least, reat on the same besis—bave the game rights, neither more por less. The assumption which over throws one overthrows all. The passions ef the war, which still secm to eurviye at the North, may yet blind some to this trath ; but it ie not the lees incontestible self evideus. ‘be individoal occupy- ing the chair of State js, by tke prevailing eunsiruetion, held to be bound to eet at _paught the popular wil] and aubvert the , ind enep of the States; be bas no * diseretion—the ruling of the gorrupt judge ja binding on bim.

He perverts words, ineanings. aud uses and in- fluences : be subveits how strangely, princi- ples, and laws, he also recunstructs, without the least regard to truth, to satify his whitns, with untruth and destroys the real virtue of facts aud principles. It seems at times as if life aud everything in it luoks to be in an endless chavs, so throughly bave men public and private wixed up all virtues aud all val- ues. They have bejuggled ideas and turned then inside out and upside down. — The word worth, the dictionaries say one thing of it and inen quite another, they know well its quality, yeteven placeit op honors, and titles. Still the fact is even the same, for it is un the iuside, and not on the outside of a wnau, by circumstances. The man of worth, js the nan, whatever his position. color, or advantage, trom whose life exudes the aroma of charity and luye. If we are to enquire who are the worthy, we must pass by the lofty dweliings aud stoop before the hum- ble doors, ignore fashionable upholstery and sit on well-curbs. Money bags and large bank accounts mean nothing. Napolean’s euquiry was, what is he me not what is his family. A nan comes into a place, the anxiety is tu knuw, votif he will make a good citizen aud neighbor, not as to his worth, but what is he worth. Of men all about us the wecsur- ing and guaging is by financial reputation. Property qualification, is the tyravical and diabolical test in life. Horrid inquisition into the condition of the pockets of other peo- ple, is to some men what gossip aud vile tea are to some wornen. What is he worth? is the all absorbing question in the market, in society and tuv much in the church, rather than, of what worth is he? It is ever the same questiou and the same standard. He dies, aud mingled with the low tones at the fuveral, the comment on the street, the little paragraphs in newspapers, comes the iniserable and low interrogatcry, what was he worth? is swelled out everywhere. uoder what is called tokens of respect Where the cash account is largely in his favor, the answer might often be. He 1s not worth a decent burial. Now the fact is a man is not tu be confounded with his mouey. It is humiliation that a inan has not the amn- bition to have a great growing svul withio him, rather than a great growing column of figures iu a great book outside of him that never will be copied iuto the great record book. It is sad enough to see how men put the value upon theimselvesintothat which is not of themselves at all, and which, if you strip off that iustant they are without worth, and if carried successfully down tu the grave, they cannot take through it. They want the guinea-stamp and not the manhood stamp. It is man’s rate not God Almighty’s rate. The trial-balance is by dollars vot deeds. How fearfully paltry is this all and yet the world is bestrid and hard ridden by the idea. We will hardly get any mau’s acknowledgementgthat worth is every way seperated from and independent of money. The child on our knees learns it, that we put a value on the worth money will give us, even though we talk suimething else. Speech, thought, habit aud desires fairly reek with it. It is the very hardest thing to make man see worth where there is no inouey, and to believe that honest, high toned poverty is worth, that the Astors and Stew- arts aud Vanderbilts and Rothchilds can never purchase. ‘This stupid stoupiug of the suvul, uo power has ever yet been able to inaster. And yet worth, forall that, is char- acter, Character is capitaland capital hav ing which a man is never bankrupt. Said a member of Parliament in debate. ‘No nan is bound to be rich or great, no, nor wise, but all men are bound to be honest. And houesty we all know is a great and broad virtue penetrating every portion of the character. The men of worth are the doers, the active inen, in all the iudustries of thought and toil. they are the men creating, produ ing where product is of some value to man and who keep close by their iutegrity. growing inwardly iu moralities. In plutarch is fovud ove of the best ard finest compliments ever paid to man. and in these words. “His shield no e:ablem bears, his generous soul Wishes to be, not to appear the best ; While the deep furrows of his noble mina Harvests of wiseaud prudent counsel bear.” Such honor as this has worth when men can have the courage and honesty to look straight at it, and weigh and guage as men. Thie is what worth always deee. It will aud does compel homage. Man pass it by, they bow elsewhere aud crome other things! but | there always comes a@ time when the worthy linan gets recoguitioa—uot by mobs, not by ;erowds, not by vutes, not by houors, but | when crisis shall look fora inaster, when as- j suming and glitter fail, when men feel out | fur relianee, the man of worth will have his hour and the wan of gould shall lie prostiate. The world has a long catalogue and it in- creases. of men whuse worth was their best and only wealth. Every man's experience gives io his mite, and we may read it every where, that history’s greatest characters are aud have been those whose ouly title and claiin came of the character in the man. Werth has inany ingredients, aud every one of them are first class. Tu bea worthy man is something very high, and to have that said of one is very high praise. I don’t believe people realize uw much weight it has, because it is the word which peuple priding theinselyes on their respectability, use with a condescending half sneer when speaking of a machanic a porter or a servant, when they can’t say anything else decently, they say, with a sort of lingering tone. ‘He isa very worthf man.’? No inatter, to be a worthy tnan is to be a very honorable thing. and the only thiug a mau should care tu be. Man isa being worth speaking well of, and we gain nothing by putting him down or speak- ing hardly of him. Says Emerson in his choice bits of wisdom. ‘We vught to be as courteous to a man as to a picture which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.” A big soul of chairty lies behind these words. Some- body says that “the real art is to find out the merits in men, and not the faults.” It is so easy to find the faults, so blattant are they, and so coy the other; and weso much prefer to feel for the flaw than applaud the jewel, that mens’ merits are the least known things. Our speech is harsh and inconsiderate, and the chairtable light is thrown on grudgingly, calumny, miserar ble, cowardly calumny will cross any ocean and climb any mountain if itcan but thrust its pois- oned arrow. Leave alone all obligation of brotherhood, all reciprocity of tie and sentiment man deserves better than that. He is worth more, the qualities manhuod show, with which it adorns life, with which it has advanced the —y - intercourse profitable and enjoyable, filling life with melody and gladness, relieving jars and friction demand our recognition, Man is worth treating well, man as man. The ages have been struggling against the oppressions of despots: then the aggressions of friction and caste, trying to remove the disabilities the race has staggard under ever since man’s first blow established that there could be enmity.

It seems as if none value enough the plain elements which enter into the plain thing, worth. We do not opeecre how high a thing it is to be worthy, or how high the honor simple worth has. We are all the time looking out for daz- zling qualities and startling effects, and striving for them ourselves, But the truth is life is worth nothing except we put into its days and deeds not only energy. but charity and love and noe: : . en have gotten upa saying one of those glitterir : lies—that “nothing succeeds but suc- cess’ yhereas, nothing succeeds but worth. Money establishes nothing, social position es- tablishes nothing; political honor establishes nothing. Neither does any attainment in any pursuit, from pulpit to street sweep. Worth alone does this. Of the New York clique whose names have passed into history and infamy, Money gave them no worth. No men ever got it so fast. None mistook it for worth. Places, powers, honors and favors they had to bestow. Hats came off; votes were plenty; levees attended; friends abounded ; but worth / The most Cepraved parasite that fawned, would laugh at the idea. The money gone. None so poor to do them reverence: Men die and leave monuments ; they die and leave money behind them—they die and leave reputation behind them, Monuments may lie, at any rate mean but little; armonument is only one dead thing over another dead thing. Reputations are uncertain! good men have bad ones and bad men good ones, but worth is something one can leave behind. —_——~—-<o————_ Cause of the Trouble. We cannot, perhaps. better show the immediate cause of trouble in New Or- leans than by copying the subjoined arti< cle from the Bulletin which is the organ par excellence of the revolution—of last Saturday: “The attempt on the part of certain journals in the North to create the impres- sion that all the trouble in Louisiana grows out of the prejudice of the whites against the blacks, and out of a spirit of disloyal- ty to the General Goverment, is a mali- cious attempt to insure our people in the interest of the Redical party. ‘The truth is that there is no trouble here that could not be instantly cured by the declaration of martial law, or by the installation in the Gubernatorial office of some one rep- resentating sone recoguized authority, c1- ther that of the State or of the Federal goverment. If we cannot have the Gov- vernor of our choice; if the votes of the citizens are to be cast aside as so much Waste paper, then we ask, we have the the right to demand that there shall be placed over us an officer or reprasentative of the power that has subverted the will of the majority of the people of the State. Let the President declare martial law in Louisiana and he will preform an act for which the best people here will thank him, and it may be that he will thereby pre- vent the effurion of much blood. We are sick of this man Kellogg —sick of his im- becility, sick of his shameful hypocrisy and cowardice, sick of a man destitute of all the attributes of trne manhood, sick of him asa usarper without a redeeming trait. It is the refinement of cruelty to cowpel any people to live under the rule of this human fraud, this man who does not boast of a friend on earth, and whose most intimates associates abhor hia. Give the people a man they can respect and look up to and evev usurpation will be deprived of some of its sting. Give us a man and nota ghost and we will try and stagger along peacefully. ean Cowardly Murder. On Saturday night last, Mr. William Gillespie was shot and instantly killed at his residence about thice miles east of this lace. On satday morning the Coronor, Dr. W. L. Hilliard, held an inquest over the body, and the following facts are as~ certained: Ou Saturday night about 8 o’clock, Mr. Gillespie was sittiug iu the kitehen and got up for the purpose of shutting the door, when some one fired on him with 4 gun loaded with buckshot, three of wich took effect, producing instaut death. [is son- in-law, a Mr. Hall, was suspected as be- ing the murderer, anc was arrested and coufived in jail at this place to await fur- ther developments. It seemsthat Mr. Gil- leepie and Hall had been at outs for gome- time about some property now in the possession of Mr. G’s. wife. These murders are becomeing alarming- ly frequent, and uuless active eteps are tuken to punixh the perpetrators, who knows when they will stop. We can scarcely pick up a newspapar without finding some horrible account of a murder. Let the law have its full course and we think these things will cease.—Ashville Ixpositor. Cool Grit. We have a thrilling story of an intend. ed outrage by a brutish negro upon a white lady in Kemper, and the sweet res venge she had the courage and firmness to take. ‘The name of the lady has not come tous, but it will, and thousands of tonguee will praise her as the heroine of Mississippi. the story, asit reaches us, is that she was alone and met by a brutal negro man. Le asked her if she did not know that there was now a law that com- pelled white women to marry negro men? With a presence of mind rarely equalled in her sex, she maintained a placid com- posure which completely threw the negro off bis guard, when she quietly answered that she knew there was such a law now. Then he made the other insulting propo- sition. She accepted it in a manner, to more thoroughly pull the wool over his eyee, and only required that he ehould go with her to the house. The lady led the villain on unsuspect- ing, with a high notion of having achieved love’s conquest, up to the house, where she bad expected to find a brother.

As our-friead, Jobn W., said the other day: “Brethren, let the work of the Lord go on”! Keep up Family Attachments. One of thé saddest things abont a large tamily, who haye lived happily togetiser for years under the old roof-tree, is the scaltcring to distant homes, which takes place as they grow np, one by one, to years of maturity. Itis often the case that, in the cares and.bustle of business, letters grow more avd more iufrequent’ and finally brothers sod sisters will entire- ly lose sight ofeach other. These kin- dred ties are much tou sacred to be thus lightly servered. It takes such a little while to write a letter, and the expense is so trifling, that there can hardly be an ex- case forthe neglect. A loving family cirele, thas widely se- vered, adopted a curious but beaatiful plav for keeping informed of each other's wel- fare.. ‘The two most remote, on the first of each month, write a part of a page on a large sheet, containing the principal news of the month,.and this is forwarded to the family uext inorder. Some member of the hourehold adds a little contribution, and senda it on go the next, and so on till the circle is complete. ‘Thus the family circle goes its rounda twelve times a year, aud each one is kept well-informed of the joys, sorrows, plans and pursuits of the utbers.

It is amusing to note how these im- postors imitate and copy the language in which the medicinal properties of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are discribed. Although the effect of their rasping evacuants is to destroy the tune of the disgestive organs and the bowels, and to rob the system of its vital strength, they are un- scrupulously recommended to the weak and prostrate victims of disease as stimulants! It} { is time this humbug (not a very successful one | it is true, thanks to the mature common sense | of the American people) was stigmatized, as it deserves. Such mischievous falsehoods should be exposed pro bono publico. Hostetter’s Stom- ach Bitters, be it distinctly understood, is a stimulant. It has a spirituots basis, and that basis is the vehicle which diffuses its wonderful sanitary principles through every part of the system. The tonic, alterative and regulating ingredients of the Bitters would be compara- tively inert ifthey were not, so to speak, carried to the localities where they are required by the stimulating agent. The cant which protests against the use of a pure alcoholic fluid, when employed as a means of giving full effect to medicinal extracts of the highest utility, is the cant of charlatanism. Every intelligeut physi- cian so characterizes it, and the sick who are griped, convulsed and debilitated by the nau- seous and disgusting nostrums of the parties who put it forth, soon find to their sorrow that itis a delusion and a snare.

More Reconsrruction.—The New York Post says: ‘It isa peculiarity of the ruling ein many of he Southern States, that, when it is no longer able to support itself by a majority of votes or through fraud, it at once asks for more “reconstruction.” The CLAYTON yin Arkansas is a signal instance of the truth of this remark.

Horagip MurpDER IN Miss.—An_ outrageous murder was committed near Caledonia, in Lowndes county, Miss., on last Monday night week. It seems that Mrs. Ann Thomas, a|_ widow woman, whose son had mysteriously disappeared several months ago, had suspected Thomas H.

This invaluable medicine involves a PER- FECTLY NEW TREATMENT of CHILLS, AND FEVER, and will effectually cure and root out the disease trom the system. 1. All other remedies must not be taken when the chiil and fever fit is on; but the * Bel- lamy” Pill cau be taken just as safely when the Jit isactuallyon asatany other time. Take once a week during the xeason of Chills and Fever, they will Positively ward off and pre- vent an attack—making a residence in the most infected districts perfectly safe. 2. The Bellamy” Pillis also a sure remedy in all cases of Intermittent Fever, Romittent Fever, Typhold Fever; Sick Headache, Indi- gestion, and LiverComplaints of all kinds. 3. After you are entirely discouraged and opeless and all other remedies have failed, make one more trial, procure one Box of Bel- lamy’s Pills and take them. The proprietor guarantees you an absolute and perfect cure. Reference is made to the extraordinary cure of Professor Lawrence, Principal of the Insti tutes of Elocution at New Yurk and Philadel- hia. He says as follows: “Abont ten years ago, while residing in New Jersey, I hada violent attack of chills and fever. The chill Would come on regularly about ten o’clock, and continue for nearly two hours, followed bya burning fever for more than five hours, which no medicine would relieve ; and I became so week that I could hardly walk across tLe room, and could not ascend one flight of stairs in less time than ten minutes. My life becamea burden to me. loathed every kind of food, and even water tasted to me like copperdés, I could get no refreshing sleep either by night or by day; the medicine prescribed fur me by physicians gave me vo relicf, and I was fast sinking into the grave. One day a lady persuaded me to pur chase a box of Bellamy’s Pills. Itook three attwelye o’clock noon, and three at night’. After taking the two doses I felt better, and that night, for the first time in three months, slept for fally eighthours. The next morning [ felt much better, and took three more pills. As ten o’clock approached I prepared myseli for ny daily chill, butto my intense joy my unwelcome visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o’clock, I took three more pike, and at nightthree more. The next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at seven o’vlock, feeling quite well; and although still very week, yet I was able to en- joy my food, and whether eating or drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me In about seven daye’ time I was strong enough to walk four miles, and felt perfectly cured Ten years have elapsed since then, and I have never had ancsther attack of Chills and Fever. “P. LAWRENCE, “New YORK CONSERVATORY ¢F MUSIC “OS Eastii4th Street.” Tn conclusion, the proprietor has only to state that he will guarantee to cure any case of Chills and Fever. No see will ever in sach case be exacted. The patieut is at liberty to Pe or not. All that is desired is, that he will mee erd a certificate of his cure at an early ate. PRICE, ONE DOLLAR PER BOX.

Walker's California Vin- egar Bitters are a purely Sees preparation, made ciuicdy from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, ‘‘ What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VrnEGaR BIT- TEs?” Our answor is, that they remove the cause of disease and the patient_re- covers his health. ‘They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a pericct Renovator and Invigorator of the system.

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Pilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as lumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER’S VIN- Baar BiTters occasionally, For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spets, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carburcles, Ring-wors, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Ditters. - Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No pee of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and ries Lm in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell yon when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. ‘ R. H. McDONALD & CO., and . Agts., San igpo, Erpecoe oat an se Tenia outta Sold by sli Druggists and Dealers.

A Romance 1n Hicn Live.—At the gaming table the Duke of Richmond in- curred a debt of honor to Lord Cadogan, which he was unable to pay, and it was agreed that his son, a lad of fifteen, who bore the titls of Karl of March, should marry the still younger daughter of Lord Cadogan. The boy was sent for from achool, and the girl from the pnursary; a clergyman was in attendance, and the children were told that day they were to be married upon the apot. The girl had nothing to say; the boy cried out, “They surely are not going to marry me to that dowdy!” But married they ware. A post chaise was at the door; the bridegroom was packed oft with his tutor to make the grand tour, and the bride was sent back to her mother. Lord March remained a- broad for several vears, after which he re- turned to London, a well~educatted, hand- some young man, but in no haste to meet his wife, whom he bad never seen except upon the occasion of their hasty marriage. So he tarried in London to amuse himeelf. One night at the opera his attention was attracted to a beautiful young lady in one of the boxes. ‘Who ia that?” he asked of a gentleman beside him. ‘‘You must be astrangerin London,” was the reply, not to know the toast of the town, the beautiful Lady March.” The Earl went straight to the box, announced himself, aud claimed his bride. The two fell in love with each other on the spot, and live- ed long and happily together, and when the husband died she also died ofa broken heart within afew mounths.— The Galaxy. Good Cooking. _A Northern journal thus discourses on a bavory subject: People are apt to. think of the Scottish cuisine as a thing gritty with oatmeal and pale with eternal dough. But tie not so. A fastidious French traveler—it may have been M. Taine—who went desparingly over Britain without getting a really good diuner, found at lust in Edinbargh a dish he liked, a Haggis, and partook of it with pathetic joy, erying, “At last an ar- tist!’’ As for the cookery of Engiaud, one of her own people says is the woret, most wasteful and unwholesome to be found io any civilized country, and that the average Englishman and the savage are the only human beings to whom cooking means simply warming meat at afire. Well, whatever Britain’s cookery may be, it is certainly from her Puritan daughters that America got her dishes, most individual, spicy, and, if not exactly delicate, at least tastefull. Mis:ress Gail Hamilton doth shrewdly boast of New England baked beans, and truly she hath reason. New England and divers regions in the Middle States have ways of dress. ing vegetables and treating fowls calcula. ted to humiliate a Soyer. In these parts of our country alone may be seen the cook ing at which we may “point with pride”’ as being characteristically Anglo-Saxon and American. In Baltimore and Richs mond and New Orleans the ancient French element entered the kitchens a century aga, and their sable cooks, who are truly accomplished, put their whole minds right into the evolotion of strange delicacies of subtle imagination and wondrous flavor. The-surveys and calealations for the projected tunnel between France and England are being quietly but actively proceeded with. The company having the scheme in charge are said to have plenty of money aod a liberal charter. hey expect to demonstrate the feasibili- ty of a tannel so strongly that they will have_no diffienlty in getting, in addition to subsides from France and England, any funds they may need. The idea of a tunnel under the sea na- turally strikes the popular imagination, and most people fancy to pass under the English Channel requires to burrow in the bowels of the earth to depths hitherto unknown. As regards the Channel this is a mistake. For instance there will be a far smaller distance between the roof of the submarine tunnel and the surface of the water than there is between the roof of the sub- Alpine tunnel and the summit of Mount Cenis.~ It is bardly necessar to say that the tunnel mast be excavate greatly below the bottom of the sea, so that its roof shoald be of sach thickness as to be thoroughly impervious to water. There is, indeed, something rather awful in the idea that millions upon millions of tons of water will be weighing on the sub- | terranean gallery. Bat in point of fact it is an idea and nothing more. The pres-~ ure of water on the tunnel will be abso~ lutely nil, and the only pressure that will have to be provided against will be the pressure of saper-incumbent earth. More- over it must not be forgotten that there are mines in England whose works extend for two miles under the sea, and in one of Cornish mines the crust of earth between the working and the watter is so thin that the men can distinctly hear the rumbling of the shingle as it is rolled backward and forward by the waves. ‘The rvof of the Anglo thick enough to exclude all cceanic noises ; npwards of 180 feet of chalk and clay will divide the tunnel from the water. In addition, it is hardly necesssary to say that it will be carefully bricked up; in tact an earthquake itself could hardly ims pair its safety. It had been originally intended to construct two enormous shaf:s close to the shore, through which pas- sengers and goods would have to be let down, shipped on board the submarine train and then hoisted up again when they had been conveyed across. This plan has now been abandoned. It had been determined to prolong the tannel far enough inland on both sides of the chan- nel so as to evable the journey to be effec- ted without a break. A gentle incline will gradually lead the train from the Continent to the submarine portion of the | permanent way ; an equally gentle ascent will land it on the shores of Britain. NO CHILDREN. A bome without children is like heaven without angels. We often hear landlords prefer some of their tenants because they have no ehildren. Advertisments, of houses to let or board, are qualified by the words, “without cbildren.” Children are an incumbrance, a nuisance, and are not! wanted. Supposing they change the or- der, and say, ‘Select circles aad classes of society, and single persone. and child- legs parente;” houses and homes where no little Jips prattle, nolittle voices cry. How atiff'and prim the parlors, how orderly and mechanical the company, how cold and formal the salutations; there is no romp nor fun there, no scratches on the furni- ture nothiug awry, no glee. ‘The guests are like fish—cold-blooded; no throb of paternal feeling beats in those veins; no pets.nor playthings, because no childrer are there. Any of the company are free to bring in a kitten or poodle, with weak eyes, and the corncra of his mouth straeked in channels, like the stream that flows from the lips of a tobacco chewer; to be fondled and kissed, and lie on the lap of its devoted mistress. But uo children. Better sweep the flowers from the soil, better pluck the stars from the sky; yes, let paint and varnish and upholster go, but let the children eome. Next to the song of an angel is the laugh of a child. And the heart that can feel, and the lips that can say, “I hate children,” should ex- change places with Lot’s wife. he man or woman who has fallen, no matter what the crime is, who retains in his or her soul the love of song, of flowers and of children, has not yet been left without the ministry of angels, to woo and to win them back to virtue. And the home that has not echoed to the merry voices of childhood, has not yet been bap- tized to its name, even though formal pray- ers may bave dedicated it to the purpose of ahome, However close may be the affinities of loving nature, the bond that perfect that anion is only found in parent- age. The full heart is never known uao-~ til parental love reveals it. ed Barnum’s MarrraGe.—In the inter- val that follows the taking of the recess of the Universalist Convention this mor- ning, it was announced that Mr. Phineas Taylor Barnum was going to be united iu the bonds of matrimony with Miss Narcy Fish, of Southport, Lancashire England. In a few minutes the couple made their a ee ae and walked ap the ailse to the communion table, the organ in the meantime playing the ‘Wedding March.’’ The bride was dressed in a slate colored dress; and wore a black velvet hat with blue feather. From her ears depended diamond earrings. The bridegroom was dressed in a black dress suit. The twain were made one by tho Rev. Dr. E. H. Chapin, and at the conclusion of the ser- vices left the church in a carriage. The bridesis twenty-six years of age, and is Mr. Barnum’s second wife, his first having Lbeen buried about a year ago, the bride- groom being about sixty~seven years of SALISBURY N. sd C..

They speak of build- ing fine warehouses runsing a line of steamers to Liverpool, establishing agen- cies of their own at @ o markets, &c. Now, sur humble opinion is, that they are going just a little too fas. As we said, we are in favor of them and think they can do a« vast deal of gool, but we do think they will fall into a great error if! they go to trying to build fire warehouses and run lines of steamers to Lwerpool, ect., before they raise cotton that belongs to them. About ninety per cent, by esti- mate, of their cotton is under obligation to their factors, leaving them ten per cent. of it to send to Liverpool and build ware- houses; and by justice and right even that ten per cent. is obligated to their factors too; because would tt be justice fora plan- ter to make one hundred bales of cotton, get his factor to advance the money on ninety bales of it—really pay them for it before they make it—and then jast send him the ninety bales and send the other ten bales to some one else? Could you expect that the factor would accommodate you simply to get cotton enough to pay him back what you owe hin.} A reo3on~ able man could not. How could he live, and is their capital worth nothing? He certainly expects you, and you really are under obligation to bim to send bim your entire crop. So weclaim the ninety per cent. is a3 much oblisated as the ninety percent. So why tatk of steamship lines to Liverpool, building warehouses, ete. That will all do when you make cotton that belonga to you, bit first do that; and that too, it is altogether theory aud not practicable in our opiuion.” oe —— A KENTUCKY STORY. | AN OLD DARKEY CONSTRUCTS A WONDER FUL MACHINE, AND BECOMES THE VICrIM OF HIs OWN IN GENUITY. — We referred a few weeks ago to an in- vention called ‘tperpesual motion,’’ con- structed by an old negro who lives three miles west of this place. It isa wagon, ©» arranged that, afver being set in motion it rans itself by virtue of the fact that the weight of gravitation is thrown forward of the ceutre of motion, and causequently the machine is compelled to run. It has been the intention of the inventor to haye his wagon at the fair on the 9:h of Sep- tember, 80 that its value may. be tested publicly in the presence of the thousands of people who will be present; and we learn from one of our best machauics that last Wedneaday—the same day of the circus—the old negro mounted the ma- chine, adjusted the bauds, tipped the bal- ance weight over the centre of motion, gave the driving wheel a shove, and, star- ted for Franklin, to report to John B Montague, Secretary of the Association, and have his machine regularly entered on the books. Aboat one mile this side of the old negro’s home there is a noted point called “Red Poud,” immediately at the forks of the Cross Plains and Spring- field roads, and here, unfortunately, an accident occurred which we fear will cause a disappointment to many inventors who were coming to our fair for the purpose of examining this wonderful. invention. The machine was hamming along the smooth, sandy road at about fifteen miles an hour and the happy inveutor on deck, feeling as proud as Fulton on board his | first steamboat, when, iu making the turn just near the margiu of the Red Pond, the starboard front wheel collided witha heavy-set post oak sapling, and the re~ bound was so powerful that the old negro was thrown forward over the dashboard, and was at the same time struck by the flange of the driving wheel, which pre- cipitated his speed 80 much that when his head struck the fence panel on the op- posite side of the road, he was 80 badly smashed that his death must have taken place immediately. Coroner Bartfield’s inquest was uncertain as to whether he had been killed by a sudden stroke of the driving-wheel or by a too hasty collision with a panel of the fence. ‘I'he machiue after thie accident, struck out with freed- om, and, passing the residence of Captaiu Lea, soon made its way across in the dir- ection of Boiaseaw’s meadow, but was ar- restod inits progress by a large log, which tilted the balance-weight back of the cen~- tre of motion, and the wild wagon was standing gently at rest whea overtaken by the coroner and his party, who were following along to take care of the killed and wounded. Since the tragic death of the inventor no man has dared to mount the fiery, untamed steed, bat our inform- ant assuresus that it will be on exbibitiou atthe fair grounds, and we invite the atten- tion of inventors and machinist to its pe~ culiar mechanism. We will not vouch or any man’s life who mounts it and sets it in motion in a timbered locality, but it can be managed safely on the half-mile track on the fair groands, and will be pat to its best speed, if any man can be found who is competent to guidé it.—Franklin, age.—New York Commercial, 17th.

NUMBER 2. I can imagine no sreaein this world more _inpressive than that which the virginia land, | of Caroline must have presented to Sir Wal- ter Raleigh’s adventurous cvlonists when | they first approached ite shores in 1584, On the 22d of July. this little company, un- der the command of Phillip Amidas and Authur Barlow, entered Hatteras Inlet Their anehors were let duwn into the white sand, they turned their expectant eyes west- ward, and lo! a strange, unknown world was befure them:a long sweep of coast de- scribing endless lines of beauty, indented with gracefully rounded bays and inlets. On the level shores stood the stately cedar, the wide-spreading live-oak, the vast gig antic cypress with its feathery foliage, and that most graceful picturesque of all our Southern forest trees, the long leaf pine, fair rival of the Eastern palm. From branch to branch hung luxuriant festoons of vines, laden with Eschol clusters of fruit. Sylvia was arrayed in the full leaf of her royal Summer glory. Rank, green grass covered ‘the glades and savaunahs, flecked with the , guld aud snow purple of a thousand flowers. —Gay creepers and bright-hued parasites, jessamines, many-colored acacias, and blood, | red trumpet-flowers, spread forth their gor- 'geous tiutings by the side of the more sub- |dued inarvels of the haytree and magnolia. Bordering the bright, smooth waters of the Sound, lavguishiug in the beams of an un- clouded tnidsumiuer’s sun, the tide presented a picture of THE SEA OF SILVER, enclosed in a ring of emerald. To the en- raptured beholders, from the open fields and treeless drowns of England, it must have seemed that these glowing shores and forest shades contained Edeu bowers of never-end- ing beauty and delight. And to add to the delusion of the senses, the morning breeze bore upon its wings a wari and grateful perfume frum the thousand odorous trees and flowers of the shore. Landing upon the main land and penetrating the shades which they had beheld at a distance, it would seem ‘impossible to imagiue the conceptions of their brains and the rapture of their hearts. On every hand were beauty and riches ex- j ceeding farthe wildest dreams. As they ; Walked beueath the overshadowiug and in interlocked branches, aud among the tall, straight pines, spots uf sylvan beauty, be- sides silver springs gurgting from the white unearthly lovliness. Others suggested yast fields of guldeu grain and vineyards laden with generous intoxicating purple ; whilst still others, beside deep rivers and beauteous bays, told of towns Geli yet to be, aud througifg multitudes busy with commerce and civilization. Falsely enough it no doubt seemed to these rude, unlearned men that waut and care could never intrude upon such scenes of abundance and peaceful beauty. The rivers and sounds abounded with fish ; through the forest roamed the red deer and the shaggy buffalo, whilst the black bear is lord of the jungles. Wild turkeys, with evaseless gabbles, sought their food through the brakes; the partridges whirred in the long grass, and the silver pheasant sounded his druin beat for his inate from the fragant cedar boughs. ‘To increase the impression of these new comers A CHARM OF MYSTERY was there also. It was all new, strange un- known. Where was the end of this broad aud uutrod dominion ? Whence came these great rivers? Whet manner of country was it at their source 7? What riches were their in the hills oat of whose bosom they must spring! What treasures of gold and silver, of diamonds and precious stoues, and ot homely. honest iron, were concealed in the bowels of this earth, whose suiface was so fair ? upon the edge of our Eastern forests upon the very threshold of the Eleusiniau myster- ies of nature, where, undisturbed by the hand of eivilized destruction, she had for thousands and hundreds of thousands of years, been elaburating her marvels. For, new as the land seemed to them. they had in reality | come upon the old world and left the new {world at home. Tbe mountain peaks froin | whose sides these rivers spread, had reared half naked heads above the waves of the primitive seas, millions of years before their taller and grander bretberen, the Alps and Andes, were born, or even the Eurvpean hills were brought forth, No wonder that with all these beauties seen, all these marvels imagined, they gave Good Queen Bess such glowing and roman- tic accounts of her new found DOMINION OF CAROLINA. No wonder they saw dot the malaria that lurked in the juugles, fatteving on the very exnberance of nature. No wouder that they saw not the crafty ard cruel savage. hard- ening his war-elub and sharpening his toma- hawk. ueder which the blood of woineo and children was tu flow in the light of their burniug cabins. No wonder they saw not the stgrvation, the toil aud suffering. through which lands, even fairest and best. are brought under the hand of civilization. They saw. before they returned home, only the riches and capabilities of the country, and as they beheld it and determined to make it theirs. they doubtless felt that keen, prophe- tic belief in their own mighty futare which Mr. Motley says is an instinct with all great races. The whole boundless continent was theirs. No other feet. or civilized man, pressed any part of that wide-extending shore. Not till twenty-four years after did Joha Smith’s canoe search the banke of the James and skim the noble expause of the Chesapeake ; and it was fully thirty-six years after that {the Maytlower lauded her passengers ou Plymouth Rock. With no one to oppose or deny their right, they surveyed a mighty, unknown, and noexplored virgin continent, and felt awed by its mysterious vastness, ‘even as Japhet did when contemplating the i coming deluge.

But history has amply avenged him. His splendid intellect, la attain- ments, high courage chivalrous deyotion noble character and pure patriotism shine all the brighter io the annals of English glory by the tuil of his mean, corrupt and slob- oring master, There is no ehsracter in English history that takes a stronger grasp upon the imagi- pation of the Aierican people—especially the youth—than does that of Raleigh. The age in wich he lived was the very heyday. of what may be termed atilitarian chivalry. The fantastic freaks and fancies of knight errautry and practical vagabondism, had measurably yielded before the more serious busivess of life. Of the causes which led to this, not ev@én the advance of letters, nor the everthrow of priestly rule, did so much, per- haps. as the discovery of this great western world. Opening so wide a field for fame, riches and uatioual aggrandizment, the ambi- tious, the adventerous and the needy from all western Europe rushed toward the land of golden promise, with all the zeal and fiery enthusiasin which the warlike spirit of the times inspired.

England was not only stirred with this feeling, but was likewise burniug with a fiery hatred of the Spaniards, the pioneers in this movement ; a feeling which partouk of both religion aud politics. Armed British cruisers soon filled the seas. both to discover and settle new countries aud to capture Spanish gold ship ; and while Raleigh engaged among the fore- most aud bravest in these enterprises, the mean sordid passions which they so natur- ally engendered in others left no mark upon him. His high and noble nature was un- polluted,fthroughoutall thetrials, temptations and woudrous vicissitudes sv which it was subjected, and came out pure gold. The colored people preserved the peace at home. After the close of the war there was harmony between the races antil your anfortunate policy of reconstruction was started. In that you undertook to base the machinery of society upon one elem ment, and to exclude intelligence. You stripped the white man of political privil- eges, and clothed the negro with political power. The races had been harmonious, but at once and for a purpose you placed them in hostile attitude. s You left many of the hangers-on of the army in the South—men who went not to fight but to plunder. ‘They were your emissarics; they organized the negroes into a political party. Io every neighbok- hood they formed them into oath bound secret societies, called loyal leagues. They were sworn to stand together. In these societies, from which the Southern white man was excluded, they were taught to regard the white man as their enemies, and that they would soon receive their property. Thus they were arrayed ia antagonism to the whites. The work was done thoroughly, and by it you held poli- tical power in many States. Bat these States are crushed and ruined now. We cannot, we mnat not, go on in this direc~ tion, The welfare of our country ealls for a change. Men must be placed in power who will relieve society from these dangerous influences; who will stand honestly between the two races, and see to it that each is fairly and fully protected in its rights; who will see that harmony based upon justice, is restored, so that labor shall be secure and capital shall not be afraid. “The South is now being covered with troops. If General Grant would investi~ gate for himself, I would not fear the re~ sult. In many respects I admire him. He is a man of great ability, and does not hate people merely because they oppose his corrupt party. T'wo years ago I said that we were fighting the ring t con- trolled him more than the President him- self, and now we have to fear the bad in- fluence that surround him. He will not investigate. He will take his information from the most malignant man ip the coun- try—the Attorney General.

It is a dreadfal thing that our army mast be used to perpetuate a rule eo hartfal to the whole country, such ag prevails io Soath Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Lonis- iana.. Whole communities and the busi« ness and production of the country are being played upon for political results. The welfare of the country calls for a change. Let the sentiment be felt every- where, from the palace of the capitalists to the cabin of the negro, that complete and exact justice shall prevail, and then all will once more bow to public authority. It was so once; it may be so again. The pee in power has failed.

Instead of being suckled by a wolfon the banks ofa sluggish creek, this young western Hercules among the nations, whose empire is bounded by the mightest rivers of earth whese civili- zatiou is the wonder aud the glory of mod- ern eras, rejoices in the fact that 1t was nur- | tured in its swaddliug bonds by the bright- est genius, wittiest statesman, profoundest scholar, readiest poet and mos. chivalrous ‘hero and soldier produced in a great age of ‘agreat race.

No vio- i leuce, no conquest nor armed wrong mark- ed her entrance into existence. Raleigh ob- ‘tained a regular patert from Queen Elisa- beth. authorizing him, his heirs aud assigns, | to take ‘‘pussession of such remote, heathen ‘and barbarous lands as were not occupied by auy Christian prince,” instead of gving forth as a mere marauder and plunderer, The Lord Proprietore also obtained a regular character from Charles IT. before they took possession in 1664, ad Charles, title was founded iu the well recoguized Jaw of nations in regard to the discovery aud oc- cupation of new countries. THE FIRST PERMANENT HOME IN THE COLONY was purchased by deed from the King of the Yeopim Indians, and ever efterwards title to the suil was sought, and spenerally obtained, in the same manner. No war of conquest was ever waged against the abori- | gines in Carolina to 0 tain land, so far as | my researches extend. Those which were fought were purely defensive. Law attend- ed at the birth and through the infancy and youth of the colonists. aud in their mauhood they have respected and obeyed the guardian of their earlier years. No people on this con- tinent have been more observant of law and authority properly constituted over them. Their records from the moment of their first settlement to the present hour, show, with the exception of the great Rovolution of Indepen- dence—but one civil commotion calling for any other force for its eee than the sheriff and his posse ; and that was the slight disorder which arose on our Western frontier in 1875 in the attempt to establish the State of Frank- lin, which was of but little moment. The war of the Regulators, which may seem to form an- other exception, was in reality a symptom of the war of 1776. Few communities in_ this world can show such a record of peace. Fora season of several months immediately succeed- ing the close of our late war, we were absolute- ly without law or rules of any kind whatever ; the military stationed in a few principlal towns being unable or unwilling to take cognizance of offences except in the immediate vicinity. And vet there never was a land in a more thorough condition of peace aud good order. So profoundly was this regard for law impress- ed upon our people that it amounted in some cases toa sublime virtue. A reverend Scotch gentleman of my acquantance who, under the influence of mammon, had married during the war an invalid, and rather a hard -looking old maid, for the sake of fifly negroes, was told by a joker after Johnson’s surrender, that the Yankees had set the negroes free and were go- ing to abolish everything done during the re- bellion, even to the dissolution of all marriages contrac tedduring that time. “Aweel, aweel, Duncan, my mon,” said the overmarried Scot, “we maunsubmit; I’m a law abidin’ mon /” Beat that, oh ye turbulent sons of Virginia! I have often had the remark made to me by most competent Confederate officers, that in one respect the troops from North Carolina made the best soldiers in our army; and this wastheir subordination and the facility with which they accepted discipline. Yet the courage and fire with which they fought afford another instance of the great danger of arousing the wrath of thone quiet races who Hlustrate the trath of the Frenchman’s maxim which tells us to “beware of those who grow angry with reason,” In further eyidence of our law-abiding char- ; + Mr. StePHENS—HE DENOUNCES THE Inrquirous Recoxsrruction Pouicy AS BEING THE CaUse OF THE TROUBLES tn Louistana.—[Special w the Augusia Constitutionalist —Union Poimt, Ga., September 17.—Mr. Stephens delivered an address to~day at 12 o'clock to an immense audience in the court buuse square in Greensboro’.

This sort of maneuvering is not new among the yanks for whom our people thronghoat the South labor with as much diligence as if they were iudeed slaves of the Northern people. Last Fall the capi. talists of yankeedom, by combining to- gether, managed to keep the price of eot- ton down all the Winter and Spring, thercby making large profits by getting the cotton which the large majority of the Southern people was compelled to sell, for amere song. Now, they have combined t» get two prices for the cloth made oat of this same cotton, by refusing to manufac- dure the usual amount until they have eucceeded in their purpose and sold off allon hand. Not only so, but by redac- ing the quantity of cotton manufactured, they will reduce the demand for that arti- ele, and in this way keep the price of that article down all the coming Winter and Spring. This is what we call sharp prac- tice. Bat, is it any better than our people deserve? Is it any better than we have a right to expeet, so long as we are will- ing to work for the North and depend upon the people there for all we wear and use. Year after year our people quietly Jabor, dig and delve, and stint themselves 4o raize money to send North for some article of wearing apparel, some agricul- tural impliment, some trashy book or filthy newspaper, woodon nut-megs, pan- gent physic, and the I.ke—articles that they could, if they would, have prepared at home. All the fruits of Soathern labor go in thie way to build ap and enrich the North. In time our own mechanics are starving, our vast resources Jie nndeveloped, our mighty water power is kept idle, aud poverty and business stagnation reign supreme. What then are we to do? some one will ask.— Establish Factories and Machine shops and convert oar own cotton into cloth at home, our owa wood into wagons and plows, do oar Gasting, iron work, shoes making, harness making, and all other work, In short, make whatever we need, whatever of iron or wood, leather or tin, cotton or wool; and thus labor to build np ovr own section and keep our money at home. Jook for prosperity. Bat as long aa we are content to laber for the North, we may expect hard times, business etagnation, poverty. ‘Ve trust the farmers of the South will take some steps to prevent the Yankees from getting their gotton this year for nothing.

Let them cease to work for the North. the mean If we wil! do this we may soon = pe eRe a a 7 reno ae The Convention Question. It is gratifying to “éee that two of the ablest papers in the State, the Wilming- ton Journal and the Hillsboro Recorder, are most earaest advocates of a Conven- tion. We do not wish to be considered invidious, since there are other papers of marked ability that favor the measare, but thoee named are not only among the ablest State papers, but their wise and wholesome counsels bave had a most -elling isflaense for good on the Conservative cause aud in the promotion of the geueral welfare of the State. The arguments of such papers are entitled to weight and consideration. In oar opinion there is no question be- fore the people of North Caroliaa at this time of such gravity, or that involves such important interests. It is paramoant to all others. ‘I'o resolve to bave a Conven- tion ia to determine to inaugurate a new era in Noith Carolina, to begin the work of reform in earnest, and in such a way as to promise success. A Convention is necessary to fulfill the promises of our party and to establish harmony ia our State polity and in the execution of the laws. A Convention is necessary to set~ tle that all absorbing question, the State debt, avd to undo and dispense with the e:travagant and complex system of Gov- ernment fixed upon us by Radical thieves and interlopers. A Convention is neces- sary to pat in motion the wheels of gens uine reform by effectually overihrowing all that corrapt system which has bad precedence since the war, and to more fully eqnalize the burdens cf government }among those who enjoy its priviliges by remodeling our suffrage laws. A Con- vention is necessary to give us a conscitu- tion that our people can respect and which will prove a reliable guide in every emer- geucy. Let us then have a Convention, or let us give in our adhesion at once and forever to one of the most bungliog, un- suited and incongruous Constitutions ever imposed upon any people, and applaud the ingenuity of penitentiary convicts, interlopers and thieves who devised it for us. Let us have a Convention, or place ourselves upon record as a vile eet of tradncers, columniators, and ignoramuses for having denounced the framers of of uur present constitution, found fault with its provisions or grown restless be-~ cause of the burdens it has seemed to en; tail. We must do one of two things; we must acquiesce gracefully and turn to praising the most iniquitous, unjust and absurd public document the world has ever known to be yclepped a constitution ; or we must call a Couvention of the peo- ple and have a constitution framed better adapted to our wants and more worthy of our respect. Let us cease to upbraid such characters as Turgee, Dewees, Swepson, | Littlefield, and id genus omne, while we | agree to sit down quietly and to be gov~ erued by the ragues’ constitution. Let us vather turn to praising the distinguished authors of this new code; for we only bave been wrong, not they, according to the policy men. Oh, Consistency ! STATE DEBT. The Raleigh Sentinel of the 26:h ult., has a funny article on the Siate Debt. It says that a tax has never been levied to pay even the interest on the debt. for the reason that thot much extra tax added to the tax necessary to carry on the government would be more than the people coald or would bear; that they wonld not pay ihe! interest were the debt reduced to 33$ cents in the dollar. The Sentinel further aays, let uo member of the Legislature come with resolutions declaring for repudiation ; for the Constitution of the United States declares no State shall repudiate. Now, that paper admits that the new debt is a fraud and a swindle, and that the people could and would not pay even the interest on it if it were reduced to 334 cente in the dollar. What then? We are told that the people can not and will not pay even the interest ; that the Constitution of the United States will not allow them to repadi- ate; that it would not do to repudiate if there was no constitutional obstacle, for the reason that we would forevey after be regarded as little better than swindlers ; &e., &c. Well, after this the Sentinel ought to have told us what we should do — ought to have suggested how the State is to get out of the difficulty ; but it has not done so, and we are still in the dark on this all absorbing question. It says oue thing about which we are agreed, and that is, ‘that it is folly for the legislature to repndiate or rather pretend to do it; that the debt will be as binding after as before such repudiation.’ This is exactly our position aud has been all the time. We have given this debt question a good deal of attention and we are yet unable to see how it is possible for the Legislature to repudiate or otherwise dispose of this debt in such a way as is likely to prove satiefactory or lusting. The method of non-interference adopted by previons Legislatares is about the most certain way to bring repudiation eyentually that that body ean devise. If it persists in refusing to levy @ tax to pay the interest or the prin- cipal, there ia the end of it. But the peo~ ple are not satisfied with this policy, ‘The delay, uncertainty, and doubt that attach to it make the people restive and anxions, and prodace a depressing effect upon the progress of the best interests of the State. We believe it is a sacred duty the people owe to themselves, to their children, to their State and to posterity to repudiate all-che new debt created since the wat by foree and fraud. ° If they choose to call a convention and it shall repudiate the debt there is no power on earth that ean or will make them pay it if they resolve to stand by the action of their Convention.” This matter has been demonstrated in several instances. If they can not and will not pay it, as the Sentinel says, then it is clear- ly to their interest to have the matter dis- posed of as early as possible, that the in- cubus it imposes may be removed ; that immigrants may flow in, business revive and real estate advance. . We have no sympathy with the sickly seniimentalism that whines about the sacredness of our debt and the so-called binding obligation upon our people to pay it. They are no more morally bound to pay it than they would be to reimburse a bank that had been robbed by a set of thieves. So far as the effect repudiation would have on our credit, that amounts to nothing. Oar credit can not be worsted, Indeed, we want no credit. If we should ever need it, let the State rely on the libs erality of her own citizens. While we have a Federal currency repudiation can bring no embarrassment, but relief. This debt question is*a big thing and ought to be settled without delay. A Convention of the people is the body tu do it. —— ~~ >oe___—_—_ As an indicatoin of the growing appreci- ation by the people ofthe North of the true condi-ion of affairs in the South, we republish here for prominence the follow ing editorial from the New York Zribune, under the heading of the ‘President and the South.” The Tribune says: The President sat late at dinner on Monday night, and the next day was far advanced when “the situation of affairs in Louisiana was brought to his attention.” We are told that at first he could hardly realize that the news was true, and when he did comprehend what had taken place he was ‘‘passionately aroused.” ‘He said he had done everything in his pow- er to assist the South, aad especially Louisiana,” and this was the grateful re- turn. He should put down this inzolent rising in the most summary maaner, and teach the rebels a lesson which they would not soon forget. We presume he was angry that he could not visit the seat of goverment even for a little festive gath- ering of the Aztec Club without being pestered by these dissatisfied Southerners, and he vowed in the irritation of the mor- ning that he would do nothing more to help them. He feels the revolt against Kellogg, as a personal affront to himself.

When the citi. zens of Louisiana begged for a hearing at the outset of the Kellogg usurpation, he sent word that they might spare them- selves the trouble of the journey, for noth- ing they could say would move him. He has no manner of doubt that he ia the best possible judge of what is good for the South. ‘To oppose his judgment is insubordination; tu criticise it is ingrati- tade. He has done “everything in his power to assist the South.” He has given it Spencer, Moses, Brooks, Baxter, Kellogg, Durell, Casey, Patterson, Packard, Pinch- back, and Poker Jack. He has filled its Legislatures with thieves, adventurers, barbers, Loot-blacks, barstenders, and con- fidence men. He has put up its offices to the highest bidder, confiscated its lands, impaird the value of its real property gen- erally, ruined its credit, and brought its business to such a pass that in some of the tichest regions of the South nothing can be bought and sold except votrs. The highways are scourd by gangs of masked marauders. The bush is filled with arm- ed negroes in ambush. South Carolina and Louisiana are relapsing into buarbar- ism, and nine years after the close of the war the South is not yet at peace. “Everything iu his power to assist the South—especialy Louisiana."”” He has taken away from Louisiana tbe right of choosing its own officers, and sent his sol- diers down there to put into power the per- sous whom he deems most fit tc rule. He has sustained them while they have plau- dered the State and overturned evcu the semblance of popular government, and for all the wrongs and sore distress which have attracted for Louisiana the commis- eration of mankind, his only remedy ia ‘more troops.” And ungrateful Louigi- ana, after all this kindness, will pot be quiet. “The attention, Sir,” said Mr. Squeers, “that was bestowed npon that boy in his illness—dry toast and warm tea offered him every night and morniug when he couln’t swallow anything—a candle in his bedroom on the very nignt he died— the beet dictionary eent up for him to lean upon—TI don’t regret it though. It is a pleasant thing to reflect that one did oue’s duty by him.” But it is no'time now to change his pol- icy. He cannot help sustaining the acs ministration which he set up in Louisiana, and be must overturn the new machinery which Lieutenant-Governor Penn is £0 rapidly putting in motion, and bring back the old set. How much confusion and trouble will result from the double revolgtion and the conflicting orders of ri- val courts, our dispatches this morning may enable us to estimate.

Judge Henry (who is hoiding the Courts in the Raleigh District) bas issned the following order to the Judges of Pro bate of the several counties composing the 6th Judicial District : SixtH JUDICIAL DISTRICT, Raleigh, Sept. 18.1874 Attention of Judges of Probate is called to page 452, acction 46, Battles Revisal. A strict compliance with the statute will be enforced, and the reports there requirea must be made on Mooday of the first week of the term. J.L. Henry, Judge The following is the section of the Code referred to: “The grand jury of every county is charged with, and shall present to the Superior Court the oames of all orphan children that have no guardians, or are not bound out to some trade or employ meant. They shall further enquire of ali abuses, mismanagement and neglect of such guar- dians as are apprenticea by the Court of Probate The Jadge of Probate shall, at each regular term of the Superior Court, lay before the grand jury a list of all the guardians acting iu his county or appreu- tices apprenticed by hia.” NNR ST RRR The Source of Many ILLS, Tf all the ailments, bodily and mental, which torment the human family could be traced to vbeir primary sources, it would probably be found thai three-fourths of them orininated in the failure of the stomach and tbe other organs by which the food is converted into nutriment and applied to the purposes of life,- to perform the tasks allotted to them by nature, vigorously and regularly. This being the case the vast importance of a medicine which compels these organs to do their whole duty, thoroughly and efficiently, becomes at once apparent. Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bitters may be truly characterized a a preparation of this kind, indeed as the only one which can be implicitly relied on as com- bining the properties of a stomachic, an alter- ative and an apevient in such proportions as to produce simultaneously the desired effect upon the disordered stomach, liver and intestines: This conclusion is warrented by the celerity and certainty with which the Bitters afford relief in chronic cases of dyspepsia, torpidity of the liver and constipation. The false idea that these complaints and others that grow out of them, could be cred by fierce catharties, has at last, it is hoped, been thoroughly exploded. The sick, during the last hundred years have swallowed thonsands of tons of mercury, scam- mony, gamboge, croton oil, jalap, &e., and tens of thousands of graves have been prematurely filled thereby. Bat everv since the principle of Bitters, was arrayed against the principle of prostration, as represented by mineral salivants and furious purgatives, the latter has steadily and surely fallen into deserved contempt. The outcry against stimulation by which concoctors of depleting drenches hoped to give eclat to their disgusting and dangerous compounds has only served to increase the demand for the wholesome stimulant, tonic and alerative whictt for twenty-five years trinphed over all opposi- tion and is now the most populay icine. in the Western hemisphere. ———er TREATMERT OF DiPTHERIA.—The doctors have foand gargles add specifics unavailing |. in cases of diptheria...

National Hotel.—Visitors to the State Fair, Members of the Legislature, and the travelling public should bear in mind that the Natioual Hotel, Raleigh, N. O., ranks first inthe State. Col. C. 8. Brown, the Hotel Prinee of the State, is |at the head of thia house, and bis repata- tion as a good feeder is known all over the United States. His table is abund antly supplied with the best of all markets. He has a new and elegautly farnished house. No pains are spared to make his guests comfortable. Don’t fail to stop at the National when you visit Raleigh. Dissolution.—It will be seen by re- fer:nee to our advertising colamns that the late popular. Firm of McNeely & Wal- ton has been .dissolved.. Mr. J. D. Me~ Neely goes out, bat the business ia con- tinued under the New Firm.of Walton & Ross.

Suc- ecss to it. . Mr. MeNeely, the retiring member, will soon open a banking establishment, where We think him well quatified for this new undertaking. Our Fair.— Our Farmers, mechanics, and others should remember that there is but little over three weeka in which to make preparations for the Fair. Let every one spur up and be eure to have Our Fair will be just what they choose to make it. Let our Farmers and Mechanics remember that every thing depends on them.

Mr. Robinton has been before the public as a showman for so many years, that the people know him well, and kaow that they will never be disappointed by any statement as to tlhe magnitude of his exhibitions. We reiterate the opinion of the press and public, wherever be has exhibited this season, when we ray that his present show far sarpasses all his pre-. vions effects as a manager. From a num~ ber of favorable notices, we clip the fol- lowing from the Pittsburgh Dispatch : “Joba Robinson has most assuredly chosco a suitable name for his vast com- bination, iv calling it the Great Exposi- tion of the Wonders—no exhibition, could be more deserving of that title—for with- in vast tents erected on the Rubinson lots ean be seen many varied and wonderous expositions of equestrian and calisthenie art. Tbe equestrian display is among the best ever witnessed. The manager act of Miss Emma Lake was better than any ever heretofore presented to a Pitts~ burgh public, and certainly every one will acknowledge the great superiority of Geo. Kelly as a Vaultigeur. Lollow the clown has the faculty of kxowing liow to please his audiences. In fact, we thiok the circus is the best we have seen, and such seems to be the general opinion, for all seem delighted and pleased. The menag- erie embraces many rare animals, and we are not surprised at the liberal patronage extended to this exhibition. The entire entertainment is conducted and managed | with a degree of excellence one scldom notices with traveling institutions.” ee NEW YORK MARKET, Sept. 26, 1874.

For all the ordinary purposes about back lote, including garden houses, | there is nothing equal to dry dirt—scraped upin the garden, and puiverized with the baek of a shovel, and used where needed, it will effectually destroy any nvisance. Its constant use in towns and cities, should be enforced by heavy penalties. Fine Beef.—Capt. John Beard is farnishing the market now with most ex- cellent beef. He lately boaght a lot that had teen fatteved on clover, and the meat is seally very fiae and fat. Prices quite reseonable. There is ali the difference in the world in beef fatted on grass and that on clover. ". he clover feed will sell for more in any markt and is apparently much neher and better. . Considering the great value of clover, and the splendid lands we have for its production, we are surprised that our peo- ple do not grow it more extensively. MatTRIMONIAL.—On the 22nd alt., at the Methodist E. Church in this city, by the Rev. Mr. L. W. Crawford, Mr. John J. West and Miss Alice Brown, both of this city. On the 24th olt., at St. John’s Ev.

We have heard thenfair spoken of in the most complimen- tary Lerma as reflecting great credit upon the goed taste of all concerned. From all we hear it was the most bailliant matrimonial service ever witnessed here.

New Factory.— Messrs Harvey Wil- son, of Charlotte, James Moore and James E Mooore of Agusta, Ga, have formed a copartnership, for the establishment of a cotton factory on the Catawba river, in this county.

A RemarKaBLeStory.—In hisepeech tothe St. Louis meeting or Louisiana sympathizers Hon. Sherrard Clemens, who is well known in Richmond, says: “I slept near General Sherman’s tent when Generai Grant came to take Vicks- burg. I heard every word of the conver- gation these gentlemen had. President Lincoln had sent orders supplanting Gen- eral Grant, and putting another General in his place. He tore up the orders, took Vicksburg, and the war was over.” The Salisbury Watchman does not ap« prebend our reason for tavoring “each township be required to support its own psane, and cannot see the justice of holding a township responsible for a pro- videotial visitation.” ‘Prue enough, there is not much justice in it, and we only threw out the suggestion, lest the legisla. ture should fail to extend the accommoda- tion for the insane if they would be re- aired to increase the appropriation for ve institution. You know how demora- lized the last legislature was on the ques- tion of appropriations.— Piedmont Press. TUNNELING THE SieRkA NEVADA MovunrTains.— Some time ago while Vice- President Huntington, of the Central Pa- cific railroad, waa on a trip to California, he signed contracts for the tunneling of the Sierra Nevada mountains at a point near Trockee, Cal. The tunnel will be several miles long, will cost $2,000,000. aud will preclude the necessity which existe at present of making a steep ascent of more than 1,000 feet at a very difficult partot the road. When thia shall be completed the snow-sheds, which now form so important a feature in the equip~ ment of the road, will be no longer ne- cessary. Several thousand tons of steel rails have been sent to the line of the road and will replace the iron rails as fast as the latier are worn oat. Prorits oF HoG Fatrentne.—I have a kinsman in Iowa, who has grown rich by hog raising, while other farmers, who sold their corn and kept no hogs, grew poor. He not only feeds all his own corn, but he always buys corn largely from his neighbors ; always aiming to sell his well-fattened hoge to drovers, when the market price reaches the maximum. He makes a great saving by boiling his corn in the ear, which makea it easier for diagestion and saves the toll of grinding. He gives his hogs all the pumpkins they will eat, as these sharpen the appetite, and perform the office of water; and he takes ins to keep the bogs in clean, warm fadistuge: with water insted of mud and filth, to wallow in. REMARKABLE FREAK OF LIGHTNING. —A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from Upperville, Va., September 9th, gives the following account of a dis- astrous stroke of lightning : During a thancer storm yesterday eve- ning Colonel k.

The most remarkable t of it was the position of the horses. tae them just as they bad fallen, witbio as of fifteen feet square, nearly all touching each other. ‘l'bere were in the field twenty-two horses, but whether all were together it could not be ascertained : the probability is that they were not, as the others did uot appear to be affected. Phere were no trees where the horses stood, but each one stood with its head in the same direction, evideutly gathered togeth- ar in consequence of the hail that fell trial or its pain, any more than a sense of daty dircetly takes away the danger of in- does not pass into the temptation to sin A sorrow comes upon you. : aud you fall out ot God’s testing into the The Force of Prayer. _ Prayer does not directly take away a fection, but it preserves the strength of the whole spiritual fibre, so that the trial Omit prayer devil’s temptation; you get angry, bard of heart, reckless.

A recent account comes from Holland of a farmer upon the low lauds of the Scheldt who planted some plots of sunflowers around his house withthe effect to preserve bis homestead from tever while it was very prevalent all around. ‘The Swiss Zimes, in reporting this case, strongly recommends the plan- ting of sunflowers, not only forthis reason but also for the value of its seeds for feed, and that of its stalk for fuel.

Dr. Bellamy’s Pills. his invaluable medicine invyolvesa PER- FECTLY NEW TREATMENT of CHILLS AND FEVER, and will effectually cure and root out the disease from the aystein. 1. All other remedies must not be taken when the chiil and tever fit is on; but the * Bel- lamy” Pill can be taken just as sufely when the fitisactuallyon asatany other time. Take once a week during the season of Chills and Fever, they will Positively ward off and pre- vent an attack—making a residence in the most infected districts perfectly safe. 2. The “Bellamy” Pill is also a sure remedy in all cases of Interinittent Fever, Remittent Fever, Typhold Fever; Sick Headache, Indi- gestion, alyl Liver Complaints of all kinds. 3. After you are entirely discouraged and hopeless and afl other remedies have failed, make one more trial, procure one Box of Bel- lamy’s Pills and take them. The proprietor guarantees you an absolute and perfect cure. Reference is made to the extraordinary cure of Professor Lawrence, Principal of the Insti tutes of Blucution at New York and Philadel- phia. He says as follows: “About ten years ago, while residing in New Jersey, I hada vivlent attack of chills and fever. The chill would comeon regularly about ten o’clock, aud continue for nearly two hougs, followed bya burning fever for more than five hours, which no medicine would relieve ; and [ became so week that I could hardly we’k across the room, and could not ascend one flight of stairs in less time than ten minutes. My life becamea burden to me. I loathed every kiud of food, and even water tasted to me like copperas, Icould get no refreshing sleep either by night or by day; the medicine prescribed for me by physicians gave me no relief, and I was fast siuking into the grave. One day a lady persuaded me to pur chase a box of Bellamy’s Pills. I took three attwelye o’clock noou, aud three at night. After taking the two doses I felt better, and that night, for the first time in three months, slept for fully eighthours. The next morning I felt much better, and took three more pills. As ten o’clock approached I prepared myself for ny daily chill, but to my intense joy my unwelcome visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o’clock, I took three more pills, and at nightthree more. The next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at seven o'clock, feeling quite well; and although still very week, yet I was able to en- Joy wy food, and whether eating or drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me. In about seven days’ tine I was strong enough to walk four miles, and felt perfectly cured Ten years have elapsed since then, and I have never had another attack of Chills and Fever. “P, LAWRENCE, “NEw YORK CONSERVATORY ¢F Mosic “S Eastil4th Street.” Tn conclusion, the proprietor has only to state that he will guarantee to cure any case of Chills and Fever. No yee will ever in such case be exacted. The patient is at liberty to pay or not. All that is desired is, that he will ee a certificate of his cure at an early ate.

In these factories and millsare employed near 500 hands, and the business they do is immense. Some fifty dwellings are building now, and fifty or more stores and offices.

ENGLISH FROM NANESEMOND AND BARBADOES. The Ratio of Native and Foreign Popu- aflame Neste Teak aad Geran: THE GENEALOGICAL TREE OF THE OLD NORTH STATE. NUMBER 3. One cannot fail to be struck with the re- markable length of time which intervened between the discovery and the colonization of North America proper. Mexico. the est India Islands. engrossed almost entirely the enterprise of the Spaniards in the early part of the 16th century; whilet the English and the Freneh did httle in the direction of the lands they were destined to occupy. Fall nivety years—almost a century— after the discovery of the continent it lay without notice or at- tempt to settle it until Raleigh’s ships came in 1584. Several expeditions to Florida had been made prior to that time, but they were mainly for exploration and plunder. From 1584 to the settlement on the James twenty years more elapsed. From that set- tlement to the first permanent lodgement in North Carolina, forty-five years more inter- vened, and was quite oue hundred years after that. before the pioneers of North Car- olina gotin sight of the Blue Ridge. At that period, 1650, they had got westward as far as Fort Dobbs, which stood near the. Yadkin river, some twenty miles west of Salisbury; and fifty years after this, in 1700, there was not a white man in that portion of North Carolina, which is now Tennessee, if we except a few scattered Freoch traders and emissaries to the Indian tribes. Thus TWO HUNDRED YEARS. after its discovery beyond the seaboard and its vicinity the greatest part of our country was still an unpeopled wilderness ; fur the tide of population im North Carolina and Virginia kept nearly side by side in the inarch westward ! These States show not only the dangers and difficulties of subduing a wild land and planting civilization within its recesses, aud the weakness and poverty of our pioneer, forefathers, but they show also the compara- tive poverty of English people at that time. One great English steamer of the present day could with ease. have transported every inhabitaut (white) of this colony with their goods, including cattle, in 1670, seventeen years after the settlement began. The iin- inigrants landing at Castle Garden every two years now. would people the whole State of North Carolina as thickly as it was peopled in 1670. Sneh has been the growth of western civilization, with all its wealth and appliauces. The charter of the people who settled and continue to ivherit the State is worthy of the s.iudent’s consideration. © North Carolina owes less to foreign immigration than any of her sisters. Hers is almost a homogen- ious people. Her population is more nearly composed of those burn ia her borders, de- scendants of her original settlers, than that of any other State in the American Union. The census of 1870-shows that her total population is 1.071.361, aud of this number only 3,029 are‘of foreign bith! Not only relatively but absolutely less than the saive class of any other State. To prove that this ig nut ao accidental enumeration, the ceu- sus show the namber of persons bora of one orboth foreign parents to be but 6.464 : and of persons born of both foreign pareats. to be 4.328—the same proportion appearing in the census of 1860 and 1850. We are emphatically ONE PEOPLE OF UNMIXED BLOOD. Iu the many political canvasses which I have made, froin east to west, I have neyer, to my best recollection, visited a country, however distant, without-being asked by some one about his kinsinan living in my | country. Ifthe blood revenge of the old Scotch clans were practiced now-a-days, it would fare itl with the manslayer who should attempt to conceat himself from his enemy’s elausmen in this State. They would spring | from the earth around him in every direction asthe men of Roderic Drudid about the path of James Fitz James. Where did thuse people come from? Who are they, and of whet blood? These are questions al- ways worth asking and answering, though an excess of democracy has begot an un- worthy indifference to the subject of a peo- ple’s ancestry. The aristocratic feeling is ; almost entirely confined to the beasts in this | age of physical progress. It is thought to | be important to them to have great progeni- tors, but not with men and women. A plain, democratic farmer will deseant by the hour on the noble sires and dams of his horses. cattle, sheep and hogs, and even his game chickens ; bat if you should, in his presence, and laid the foundation of community which has evi honor to the name of Nort our beginnings in both eadon counties were thus English, we have receiv sien from that seuree of consequence. Occasional settlers dropped’ from: various parts of the world. but so @fadually as to be- come lost in the general tiges and leave no particular marks upon our @atioval features. The streams from which We were to derive our most marked charactetisties were yet to come ; the Seoteb, thé Sedtab-Irish and the German. The colony of Swiss and Palatines under DeGraffentied wag Bot recited and made no visible impression .apon our blood, or manners. a The Scotch and Seoghtrish are entirely different. andthe lauge dgihut, as the cas- nal reader might suppose. arise from parents on one side and Irish on the other. They are native Izish of: original Scotch de- scent, to whose pedigree reference will be made again. The Scotch who settled the Upper Cape Fear were principally followers and adher- ants of Prince Charlie, who were out in the 45 with him. After their great been .such an irolina. Whilst and Clar- exclusively DEFEAT AT CULLODEN a large colony of thetn came to the State and settled near the present town of Fayetteville. Their descendants and constantly arriving countrymen soon spread overall the region watered by the Cape Fear. and have ever since constituted one of the most striking efements of our population. Their religion was Presbyterian, but unlike most of that denomination, they were general!y monarch- ists in politics, They brought with them and have preserved habits of thrift, in \ustry. a love of education and most of the charac teristics of the Scottish people. They came direct by the way of the Cape Fear inlet or harbor. They were Highlanders. The Scotch-Irish. one of the most remarkable members of the great British family, were Scottish Presbyterians. planted by King James I. in the north of Ireland, on lands forfeited by the treason of the O’Dogherty and the Earls of Tyrecuncil aad Tyrone. There they grew and flourished, preserving their blood as exelusively as if they had re- maived iv the mother country, and also their inanvers and religion. They called them- selves Scotch in contradistiuetion to the na tives. whilst to distinguish themselves froin their Scotch kindred, they w re called Scotch- Trish a vam? they have to this day retained. They were Lowlanders. The story of their persecutions, their ad- herencg to principle, their messacres. their splendid courage, their attempted emigra- tion to New England, and return to Trelaud from mid sea by stress of weather and a leek in their ship, the Eagle Wing ; of their final triumph in the flight of their tyrant James. and the elevation to the throne of THE DELIVERER, WILLIAM OF ORANGE is one of the most atriking and instructive episod’s in modera history. They became | mighty in Ireland—especially in Ulster, and | from that province poured ship loads of emi- grants into North America. They came | inostly by way of Penusylvania, and finding | lands east of the Alleghanys difficult to ob- tain, and no settlements yet made west of that chain on account of French and Indian hostility, they drifted steadily southward. Leaving many of their numbers in Virginia, they finally reached North Carolina, and spread all over that beautiful champagne country from the Dan to the Catawba. Svon after these, aud by the same route, came our German settlers and located ov the bauks of the Yadkin aud Catawba, covering all the beautiful rolling conntry between these streams, and far up the right bank of the latterin sight of the Blue Ridge. In agriculture, as a general rule. they have ex- celled all our people, especially in thrift, economy, and the art of preserving their lauds from sterility. To this day there is: less of that desolation which is called in the | South ‘old field,’? to be seen among the lands | of their descendants than amongst any other of our people. In religien they are Lutheran. | and in politics Democratic, and they are as the hills in earth.

As a commun-' we spring froin, affecting both the individual and the community. The physical and men- tal traits we derive from our ancestors are not more marked and important thaa are the peur aspirations aud traditions we drink from childhood. No profound obser- ver of haman natare will ever estimate the capacities or conduct of a people without first looking at their genealogical table and noting the bleod which fows in their veins. The first comers were English from Nan- semond. Virginia, and their numbers were largely increased by Quakers and non-con- tormists who fled from persecution in the parent Colony, which had established the Church of England as the State religion, and passed laws unfavorable to all other forms. This uohappy spirit of intolerance was the result of the Governor Council's attempting to show their loyalty to the home govern- ment, which was then a persecuting one, and forcibly reminds us of many wicked things of recent times, done also in the name of loyalty. It helped, however, to | people North Carolina rapidly, and the rich low lands of the east received some of the best citizens of our State from that source. To the south, the county of Clarendon, embracing all the region of THE LOWER CAPE FEAR. the English azain-came, from Barbadogs, { ' North Carolina life were English, Scotchb- ion, they have not increased to any consid- | erable extent, but their descendants, inem- ; bers of another faith, are widely spread . over Western Nor?!)

WACHOVA, after the Wachau Valley in Austria, of which he was Lord. Thus it will be seen that the sources of Irish and German mainly, with minor streams of Irish, Swiss. aud here and there @ French Huguenot; and with a very small immigra- tion sinee the original settlements, our peo- ple are almost exclusively their descendants. There has been little or no exclusive feeling among these races ; they have married and intermarried until the casual observer can scarcely determine by any outward sign to what blood any owe their origin, except in a few localisies where the old-land customs and prejudices were longer observed in fall force. It has been but a few years since the Gospel was preached to portions of our peu- ple in both German and Gaelic. } Of the race which of all these has given most color and tone to our society, and which furnishes the key to our public char- acter—the Scoth-Irsb- I shall speak more particularly in another paper. a ar ‘for they are eternal. Sensible Remarks. Ex-President Davis made a speech in Memphis, Tenn, last week, in which-he trathfally remarked : “The negroes were not our enemies ; why should they become so? We are their friends. Yes, and the Soathern men are the only friendsthey have to-day in any part of the world. It becomes as to be their frieuds. Every Southern man in his memory rans b ck to the ne~ gro woman who nursed bim ; to Ube man who first taught bim to ride and to swim; and as he grew to manhood, the cordial welcome given him by the old nurse, with a tenderness -carcely inferior to that of his own mother, and while he has such memories clustering around him he can net be the enemy of that useful race which was the main strength of our country when we stood in this relation, which I believe Scoteh | God-intended us to occupy. If we have | been diverted from such relation, and if hostility has sprang up to any extent, it has been the work of those incendiaries who have come in to destroy the nataral relations of the races, and thus lamenting a discord by producing the evils which now exist in society. But, my friends, it eats with you, whatever be the result, to show to the world that you are incapable of secret crime, that you hate the man who weais a mask — [applause] — and whatever it is neeessary for the pnblic peace to do, you intend to do that openly aud manfully.” a Appearances Deceitful. Landlords and waiters, who form their estimate of men from looks and clothing, deserve to fall into blunders which mortify their self-couceit. A capital case of this kind happened recently in Germa~ ny. A stranger who arrived at Ragatz to enjoy its healthful springs was heared at the depot to inquire for a vehicle to take bim to some hotel. It was a gentleman advanced in age, plainly clad ; in fact, his clothes discovered an unusual simplicity. Ou his arm he bore a traveling gown, and his baggage was by do meanse very ex-~ tensive. He had been referred to the Cagatz hotel, but, being somewhat absent minded, he mounted the omnibus of the Spring hotel, at which place it left him. The porter ecratinized him cloeely, assigning him rooms on the third story. Soon a waiter knocked and presented the hotel regiater, in which the old gentleman signed his name and returned him the book. The waiter read the name, when, eyeing the guest at first with sur- prise and then ia doubt, be ran forthwith to the proprietor of the hotel. Having scarcely oheerved the name of his guest he ran up ataira, and, entering the room with a low bow, stammered some kind of ar apology, saying that the saloons of the entire firat story were at his dispo~ pal. “I thank you, my friend,” answered the stranger; “I find myself very comfor- table here, indeed; aud, besides, these rooms are cheaper.” Our host retreated, and the stranger who retained his rooms on the third story, was a person of no-less consequence than General Field-Marshal Moltke. —_—— ao Trusting in Things Seen. There is a vast amount of idolatry in the world. China has its “Josses,” In~ dia its Ganges, Aftica its Mumbojumbo. But even among many of thoes who have trusted in God, there ie, to an unhappy degree, an unconscious trusting in idols. Now, an idol, as the word primarily means, is a “thing seen.” And as much as we trust in things seen, by thus much is our trust in the Lord turned aside or weaks ened. There is apt to be a time in the life of man wheu he says, “Now I shall be com. tortable, for I have become possessor of such and such things. My farm or my last venture in baginesa, turned out well.” Or he may say, “I have a good salary, a desirable appointment, and settled pros- spects fora time.” All this ia trneiing in things seen.— The living God is too mach lost sight of in euch satisfied boasting. Although we may acknowledge the Fatner with our lips, yet the heart may easily grow hardened, gv that a subtle thought may testle there and say, ‘All will go well, if the Lord do not interfere to mar our plans. Sometimes a man may trust in the rea- sonable probability, or the hopefal pros- ect, of reaching each and euch an end. When this is attained, he thinks he eball be happy. “When my house is bailt, |! my farm paid for, my prote-sional practice establiseed, my business enlarged, or my name widely known, I ehall be comfort+ able.” But what is that but trasting in prospectively visible thinge? “The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” It is He who upholdeth all things by the word of His power. “The things that are seen are temporal.” Let us look steadfastly at the things that are no‘ seen, And while we thus look, every disappointment, and these light afflictions which are for a moment, will work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” | Western Christain Advocate. —— or In Parson Brownlow’s prospectus an~ noancing a reconstruction of the Knox- ville Whig he declares that he will wage war unceasingly upon the infamous civil rights dill, now before Congress, or any other odious class legislation.” He pro- poe to commence the publication of the hig as soon as he receives ‘from three to five thonsand subscribers, which he ex~ pects to do at an early day.” _ Nothing exhibits more clearly the decés- sity of resisting the beginuing of evil than a contemplation of the ruin and misery. men brivg upon themseives. It is yainly imagia- ed in youth that time and op nities once lost may be afterward recovered at will, and that, after having indulged in a course of folly, a man may tarn to virtue and well-do- ing when he pleases. This fallacy ‘leads many impereeptibly from step to step in the dowoward aud treacherous steep of vice, till reason and Gonséience are alkeutheeded; and there‘is altimately to effort becausé there is: no inclination to return;, We do unt to say that there are not.many with of mind aud‘ purpose who resolately a evil courses and live exemplary ica? tf they are so rare as to offer no isdugements. to follow their examples. and only ‘berve'to’| show us how desperate is the risk they rua Giving way to sinful courses bas been aptly compared to being carried forward by @ cur- rent swiftly, easily, pleasant! y—it is not. till we make hea against -i¢- that. we find hard.is the task. Habitual indulgence binds its votary with a chain. the firmness of whose grasp he begins to realize when he attempts to break it. There is just this differenee in the abandonment of evil habits, that longer the effort is delayed the more diffi- cult task becomes. It is thus made eyident that the best security for a virtuous life is to begin betimes. The inclination being led aright early habit makes the porformance of duty easy and pleasant. The most casual observation of the wrecks around us con- vinces us that indulgence in furbidden pleas- ures is the destroyer of peace and fortune, of character and self respect, and that without a good conscience. a properly-goverend mind, and a well-directed life, discontent and dis- appointment will blast every enjoyment, The derelict is generally au object of interest and concern to some one. In how maay houses is the skeleton ofa wayward and dis- obedient son? To him who ‘“‘knows the right but still the wrong pursues” indu'gence in forbidden pleasure does not yield the grati- fication which is promised. There is always more or less a feeling of degradation and of self-inflicted ostracisin. which all his bois- terous mirth and the boldness inspired by the presence and applause of kindred asso- ciates fail entirely to dissipate. How often is he suddenly arrested by tue thought of an anxious father, a weeping mother or dis- tressed wife! Their prayers and tears seein to-haunt him. The black sheep in the fami- ly, although his name is not often heard. is more an object of anxiety than are sleady, stay-at home, well-to-do boys and girls who pestle under the parental roof-tree.-- Tinsley’s Magazine. Eating Between Meals. This peraicious habit, which parents permit their children to form, is one pro- lific cause of dyspepsia in middle and ma- ture life. Every organ of the body re- quires rest, and if this demand is not com- plied with, derangement and diseases inevitally result: The brain and nerves must haye rest in sleep, the heart rests between its beating, the muscles cannot work all the time, neither can the stomach endure perpetual motion. The entire system in each and every partis greatly influenced by habit, which, when formed, becomes second nature: hence the child accustomed to constant nibbling of some sweet or comfit demande it, and is unsats iefied and uncomfortable withoat it. The meals of children, no less than of grown people, should be so regularly served, go skillfully compounded, that there should be such a blending of heat producing and muscle-making food, that after a full meal the appetite should clamor for nothing until tbe hour for the next meal comes round. Moet children love sweets, and, unless restrained, eat too freely of them. Sac charine, substances of all kinds contain only heat producing elements. Persons confined to sugar ae their whole diet, per- ish from hunger almost as soon as those who eat nothing. A child fed upon cake and other sweet fooda, which generaly contain very little nitrogenous or muscle- making substance, will soon after eating become hungry and clamor to be fed. Let the child be gradualy and judiciously starved into a normal appetite, and then fed upon wheaten bread or oat meal mush and fresh milk from a healthy cow, with the ordinary vegetables of the season, and what he cats will be all he needs till meal time comes again. Stomach digestion is only a part of the | process of assimilation. In from two to three bcurs after a hearty meal the stom- ach should be empty. Meantime bowel digestion is going on, and the blood is being reinforced, not from the stomach, but from absorption by the lacteal glands of those elements of natrition not elimina- ted from the food antil after it passes into the duodenum and is mixed with the bile and pancreatic juice. While bowel diges- tion is going on the stomach has a chauce to rest. For children about five hoars between meals ia a proper interval, and not ansuit- able for grown people, though a longer time than that may elapse between dicner and supper. ‘I'he breakfast, many writers ou health say, should be the heartiest meal of the day, the dinner less hearty, and the supper light, so that the hoarse of sleep ehall find the stomach entirely at rest. —__-__——-_oo———_—_—_——_ Every Man a Missionary.—Every man ia a missionary now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not.

In the cities are also to be found hundreds and thousands of young men seeking employment in stores, lawyers’ offices and other places, in order to avoid labor on the furms and plantations, mapy of which are becoming wildernesses for the want of their labor. It is a remarka- ble fact that not one in fifty of these plicants have either the capacity or ou fications to make merchants or lawyers, nor is such their purpose ; for they seem to bave no farther object, desire, or hope than to get “a place” to avoid mangal labor.—Richmond Whig, —_——_—___—_—_s+ = —__-_—_ The Hickory Press says: On Taes~ day, the 15th inst., while the creek whieh crosses the turnpike road beyond Patser- son factory, in Caldwald county, was rising rapidly, Wm.

We take the above from ‘1. N. Y. Sun. If it is true, it is the first we have heard of it. Would like forjsome one living in Stanly acquainted with the facts to give them to us. We are inclined to think the story false from beginning to end. + The Prevalence of Crime. One mail brings us the following an- nouncements of crime in different parts of the country : One night last week a man by the name of Jobn B. Harrington, of Columbia, 8. C., stabbed his wife to death and then attempted to kill himself. The man and his wife had been having freqaent quar- rels. Near Warrenton, Va., Fleming Brown shot and killed his son, Elias Brown, a week ago last Sunday. They had quar- reled about a matter of wages. A little boy killed a little negro in Green county last week. John Dugan, a butcher, was fatally stabbed in the back, last Friday by Michael Gilhcogly in N. Y. James Stimpson leaped on the atage of the Waverly Theatre in Jersey city last Tharsday night, and proceeded to hack one Hamilton, an actor, on the head with a knife. Hamilton narrowly escaped with his life. Carrie Sharp was shot by her brother in Jersey city last Thursday night. Mary Shoemaker of N.Y. city stabbed Annie Allen dangerously in the breast last Friday. Kate Vine and Lottie Williams, of N. YX. city, hada fight last Friday night. Lottie bit off one of Katie's eye-brows, afd the latter bit three of Lottie’s fingers off. In Cincinnati, Sept. Ist, Mrs. Jalia Perkins cut the throat of her little three year old child with a piece of glass. This was a most heart-rending tragedy. The mother dressed the little girl up in white. The little girl it seems suspected what her mother was going to do; for she was heard to cry, mamma, don’t kill me. After repeated efforts with the glass the mother f succeeded iu killing her daughter and then attempted to put an end to her own life. All because of jealousy. A Clerical scandal comes from Iowa. Rev. Frederick Hahn and Miss Emmeline Houffoer married last June. Last August Miss Emmeline Habn gave birth toachild. The Rev. Hahn and his young wife were broaght before the Uburch, an investiga- tion was had, and both expe'led, on the assumption that they must have been un- chaste before marriage, Thereupon, Mrs. Haho publishes a card in which she says that her husband is innoc nt and that one Rev. A. J. Culver is the father of her child. So the excitement is running high. Libel suits are talked of, * i: it is thought the chureh will make both the reverents get ap and duet. A murder is reported at Leesburg, Va. A Presiding Elder waa expelled from the M. E. Church at Sivux city for scans dalou sconduct. They have a first class scandal in Jer. sey city again. The Rev. Walter W. Hammond is the calprit. The matter _Was investigated a few days ago. One of the pious brethren interruy ted the pastor while making a statement, with the excla- mation, “you area liar.” The meeting adjourned in great disorder. A negro woman was pot in jail at Lin- ecolnton last week for killing her child. East Friday night at Wilmington a Degro woman attempted to murder her ausbaad while he was asleep. : The above, of course, can not be one huudreth part of the crimes that have been committed, bat they will serve to show how prevalent crime is. tie > + ae | s@r The party of Irigh Peddlers that went out to se¢ if the mardered man foand in the Creek at Kumple’s bridge was known to them, could not identify him. So his name will probably never be known, and his friends will probably never know what became of him. Can a man be thus blotted out of existence on the public high- way, ina thickly settled and civilized country, without some one having known or seen him previously, without having met or stopped with somebody a short time before, without leaving any thing in the neighborbuod of his death to lead to the detection of his infamous murderer } We do not believe it. If the matter was thoroughly sifted and followed up fearless- ly and boldly, something would Le dis- covered that would throw light on the horrid crime; aud the people of that neighborhood owe it to themselves and to humanity to have the crime ferreted oat. A most horrid murder has beeu commit- ted, and the demon of the deed is at large and uo doubt in the neighborhood where the crime was perpetrated.

I have received money from United States Marshal Usher and other Butler men to carry out the nefarious work of Butlerism.

They will call me in- sane perhaps, but every man who knows me and knows my record as a soldier and citizen, will say that I mean just what I say, aud have the cuurage to back it up at any time and place. I hold myself personally responsible for every word I utter, and it is my earnest desire to speak before the people of Salem as soon as possible on this matter.

When President Andrew Johnson removed Secretary Stanton from the position he occu- piedin his personal Cabinet, articles of impeach- nent were preferred against him in the House, aud he was tried by the Senate for usurpation and high crimes and misdemeanor, for remove- ing one of bis Privy Counsellors; a right and a power of the Executive nveyer before and ney- er since qaestioned, Of the forty-two Republi- can Senators who voted on the question of his guilt thirty-five voted for conviction. Presi- dent Grant wasin Washington urging Juhnson’s conviction. and using his influence to secure the same. Now let Ulysses S- Grant be impeached for high criines and misdemeanors, in this that he has violated the Constitution of the United States, when, in 1873, he unlawfully and cor ruptly connived with divers aud sundry yer sons 1n the city of New Orleans, under the lead of Durell, Kellogg, Casey, and Packard.toover- throw, and did overthrow the legally elected State Government, and placed in power the Kellogg usurpation, since which time he has maintained said usurpation, contrary to and in violation of the following, viz.: Art. III, sec: 2 and 4, of the Constitution. and the IIld, IXth and Xth Articles of amendment hereto, as well as the general letter and spirit of the entire Constitution and the laws passed impursuance thereof. This usurpation, unlawfully, wilfully, aud criminally set up and maintained by Ulysses S. Grant and his co-conspirators, is best de- scribed by the State Committee on Louisana Affairs, who, after a full and fair investigation, declared of the usurpation thus unlawfully, wilfully, and criminally set up and maintaiued ee eee a eed ee 5 pen te 6 &. a eee _——— io = = by Ween “Grant: and his cond spirit that “it is imposible toconcieve ¢ & mo a regular, illegal, and in every W excusable, pie on the past ofthe Judge, “bouiceding the wer of the Conrt to make such an order, the e, ont of Court, had no more Authority to make it than the Marrhal.

The way in which this usurpation strack even Republican Senators is best conveyed in the language of Mr. Carpenter, President Protem- of the Senate, who arose in his place and de- clared thatit was “difficult to restrain the in dignation which euch conduct on the part of a Federal Judge naturally inspires. The order was issued for no purpose but to control the or- ganization of a State Legislature, a thing alto gether beyond the power of any Federal tribu- nal or the United States thomselves to accom- lish. It was issued inopen and shameful de- hana of all law, and in utter disregard of the line of demarcation between Federal and State {eae ” And further, that if Congress eaves the “President with this responsibility upon his shoulders, we virtually compel him to stand by thatsham and fraud throughthe sum- mer, and for years we shall hear from it.” __ Whoamongthe Senators and Representatives —who sought toimpeach and depose President Johnson for removing one of his Cabfnet. Minis, ters—now in Congress can failto advocate the impeachment of Ulysses S. Grant for his conduct in this Louisiana affair, to say nothing of his acts: of despotism and military interfereace in other States of the Union forthe putpose of securing by fraud, force, andintimidation the selection of his partisan adherents to offices of trust and responsibility. to the detriment of Constitu tional liberty. and the destruction of the mate- rial interests of the peop'e ? Look into It. The difficulties in the way to the call of a Convention might seem to recede, if they were approach :d with a sincere de-~ termivation to remedy the imperfections and abuses of the present Constitution. Those who admit the pressing necessity of amendments but who fear to trust a Convention to effect them, might acquire assorance by examination into the authori- ty and powers of a Conyention. A Convention is in its nature absolute and supreme. Itis a reference to the body of the people themselves. of the whole organic law. It implies a surren-~ der back iuto their hands of the powers they had previously delegated, and a res sumption of the authority they had pre. viously parted with. In the exercise of their rights they are amenable to no au- thority but their own, save the para- mount obligations they have assumed in relation to the Constitution of the United States. The Legislatare in calling a Convention has bat one function to per- form, and that is, to call it in ebedience to the prescribed forms and sanction of the existing Constitution. That done, the Legislature can no longer control the action of its sovereign, the people. Now, assuming the Convention to be called, where is the danger that the people are so sedulously made to believe will attend it ? Are they not absolute masters of the situation?) Will they prescribe any measures detrimental to their own intercsts, or sauction any in- frigment of their recognized aad estabs lished privileges ? Iu the composition of a Convention, it will be necessary to sclect with judgment the most discreet and able citizens. ‘’o do this. county meetings will be bad, and at these, it will be the easiest and most natural thing in the world to instruct dele- gates as to their action. ‘his must ne- cessarily be done. How is it possible then, that any thing conld be engrafted into a new Constitution repugnant to the will or the wish of the people? Take the Homestead for inetance, the much dreaded subject. How can it be supposed that the people would fail to guard this from ivfraction or interference? Would any body of men coming fresh from the people themselves in a condensed fori, undertake to do of their own will an act so suicidal as the overthrow of a provision they themselves declare inseparable from their security 7 So with other subjects that might be named. And again. Suppose by any possibili- ty any clause unsatisfactory to the peo- ple were engrafted into a new Constitu- tion, have they not the final power of revision 1 Will it not, or may it not, be admitted to them for ratification 2 ‘T'bey have its fate in their hands, and they can control, reject or stifle it before there is ever a danger thal it can be per- verted to their injury. — With such a generally admitted necessi- ty for amendments to the Constitution ; with such opportunities as are now pre- sented for effecting them ; with such am- ple security against perverting the powers of a Convention, it strikes us as absolute fatuity or craven timidity that counsels a halt now. We are no extremist. We are no advocate of causeless changes. We are a Conservative by name aud by na- ture. But we cannot give willing adhesion to an instrament of such base origin as the Constitution of 1868, nor can we con- eistently and conscientiously be quiet at the bidding of timid counsels or the whis- pers of policy, and see the golden moment pass by, in which, if wisely seized, the most enduring good can be accom- plished for the people of North Carolina. Let those who appear to have ceased in their advocacy of a Convention or who seem to have assumed so readily a popu-~ lar dissent, take a second view of the subject and retrace the steps which led tothe premature idea of abandonment.

How States May Bk OVERTHROWN. —The Mixsouri Republican concludes a review of the late exposure of KkLLoae's correspondence as follows: “The Federal Government has been hired to place its ponderous foot upon the neck of a State for the payment of about thirty-five thou- sand dollars in variot’ sume-to certain of its legislative atid judicial officers.” * * * “For thirty-five thousand dollara any set of adventurers can hire the Federal Gov- ernment to overthrow the government of a State.” If States may be overthrown on snel cheap terms, may not the National Gov- ernment be overthrown by a proportionate sum? <A venal Congress and judiciary oright soon do the business. ———__ eo -___—__ A Favorep Crity.—It is said that there isa city of 10,000 inhabitants in Mexico waich has four publie schools, two churches, only a halfdozen drinking places, ard nota single lawyer.

Mier & fhe wame of this happy city. The Source of Many ILLS, Hf all the ailments, bodily and mental, which torment the human family could be traced to thei: primary sources, it would probably be found that three-fourths of them orininated in the failure of the stomach and the other organs by which the food is converted into nutriment and applied to the purposes of life, to perform the tasks allotted to them by nature, vigorously and regulariy. This being the cage the vast importance of a medicine which compels these organs to do their whole duty, thoroughly and efficiently, becomes at once apparent. Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bicters may be truly characterized aa preparation of this kind, indeed as the only one which can be implicitly relied on as com- bining the properties of a stomachic, aty alter- ative and an aperient in snch proportions as to produce simultaneously the desired effect. upon the disurdered stomach, liver and. intestines This conclusion is warrented by the celerity and certainty with whieh the Bitters afford relief in chronic cases of dyspepsia, turpidity of the liver and constipation. The falze idea that these complaints and others that grow out of them, could he curcd by fierce #atharties, has at last, it is hoped, been thoronghly exploded. The sick, during the last’ hundred” years have swallowed thousands of tons of mercury, ecam- mony, gamboge, croton oil, julap, &e., and tens of thousands of gravea have been prematurely filled thereby. Bunt every since the principle of revolation, as enrbodicd in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, was arrayed against the’ principle of prostration, as represented by mineral salivants and furions purgatives, the latter has steadily and surely fullen into deserved contempt. The outcry against stimulation by which concoctors of depleting drenches hoped to give eclat to their disgusting and dangerous compounds has only served to increase the demand for the wholesome stimulant, tonicand alerative which tor twenty-five years triuphed over all oppoai- fion and is now the most popular medicine in the Western hemisphere.

It will be secn to that they offer the Valuable Rowan Mills | property for sale. Someone with capital will do well to purchase as it certainly affords a fine opportunity for investment. We Mean It.—A goodly number of friends are due us on eubecription and advertising account. We have rent out a good many bills recently, but there has bess no response of that material kind we desire, and expect. We are not in the habit of sending out bills just for the fun of it, bat when we do we need money and this is what We hope our friends will bear this in mind. Look out for the 4 marks and renew your subscriptions. we mean. Things for the Fair.—We notice that our merchants, generally, are laying fn fine stocks for the Fair. The Dry Goods and Hardware dealers are getting in new.artieles, the Draggist new perfume- ries, &e., &c., and Shoe and Confectiona- ry men are well supplied. Persons who come to the Fair should not fail to call on our merchants if they would know how mach cheaper goods are scld here than ele phere. .A House Burned.—The house of Mr. Jas. A. Click of Franklin township wad darned last Sunday morning. A nom. ber of citizens who carefully investigated the matter are of the opinion that it was thé ‘work of an incendiary. Tracks were fotnd leading to and from the house. The Inga falls very heavy on Mr. Click and bis tamily. ‘They lost the greater part ot their ‘wearing apparel and furnitare. ee .Budden Death.—Mr. John F. Moose, a quiet, peaceable, good citizen of this place, died suddenly last Friday from an attack of paralysis. Mr. Moose was about 48 years of age and was highly esteemed for his many good qualities. He leaves a wife and one child, and many relatives and friends to mourn bis untime- ly death. The funeral services took place from the Lutheran Chureb last Sun- day morning, and his remains were ac- companied to the grave by the members ofboth the I. O.

Gonefat Last,—Our talented young friend, John 8° Hendérson} Eaq-, about “whom many friends had begun to'feel anxious because of his inclination to go west, (mountain-ward,} return- ed a few days ago, after a short absence, acgow- panied by one of Asheville’s fairest daughters, his bride—(see marriage notice in another col- umn)—and is now looking much better, much more composed and happy :—looks like one ‘deprived of a great burden and filled with new hope. It was not generally known what made our friend look so sedate and anxious ; but it is all over now. Gone at last and got married, he will yet make hie mark in the world. May he liye long to enjoy the good things of this life and re¢eive the blessings of children and grand childfen to the 3rd and 4th generation. Heavy Shelling.—The most beau- tiful assortment of Fancy goods wo be had, are those shell toilet cases, portfolios, &c, at Barkers & Co’s Drug Store. ! A Special Train.—We learn from Dr. Keen, President of our Fair, that ar~ rangements have been effected with the Hon. W. A. Smith, Receiver for the Western N. C. Rail Road, to ran a special train from Hickory to Salisbary and re- turn every day during oar Fair. The train will leave Hickory early in the morning and retarn late in the evening. This will give the good people along the Road an opportunity to visit the great Fair of Western Carolina. Arrangements for transporting stock and other articles for exhibition have been made on reasona- ble terms. WNWational Hotel.—We took miue host of the National unawares a few days ago. Having heard that he fed well, we concluded to test tle matter. So we proceeded to pouvce down upon his table at a time when he was least expecting a newspaper mnau—so that he would have no chance to Limake preparations for the oceasion. We were glad to fiud that all the flattering ae- counts we have heard of the courtesy and attention of mine host and hostess, of the good fare, aud of the politeness of the ser- vants, was more than realized. We gota good dinner and came away feeling that Mr. Linton not only knows how to run a hotel to the entire satisfaction of his guests, but that the National is an institution at which the public need not fear to stup. The Grangers in Council.—The Grangers of Dayidson coanty met ino council on the 24th ultimo, for the purpose of consulting together for the best interest of the order: The following officers were clected : Dr. W. B. Meares, Master of council; W.F. Stoner, Overseer; G. W. Palmer, Seerctary; A. F. Smith ‘Treasurer; C K Holmes, Steward; R A McCrary, Assist- ant Steward; E. Merrel, Chaplin; A H | March, Gate Keeper. Great harmony and good feeling prevailed throughont. From al we can learn Davidson is much a head in the work of organization and the general advancement of the order. ‘The Grangers are well filled, and great interest is taken in the objeetof the order. A better feeling is said to prevail among the farmers, and good in many ways is promised. So may it be. New Fair of the Carolinas.— We are in receipt of the premium list of this Fair and from it we learn that the exhibition will commence in the City of Charlotte on the 3rd of November next and last five days. The premium list is very creditable to the citizens of Charlotte and shows a deep interest on the part of the business men of the place in the success of the new enterprise. It is evi- dently gotten up with much care, and with a purpose to carry out in good faith all that is proposed. The officers of the Association are some of the best men in Meckleuburg county, aud with such names at the head, failure is impossible if the farmers and mechanics ot the county do their full duty. The interest, energy and enterprise manifested by the citizens of Charlotte deserve suc- cess, and we hopeand believe they will achieve it this year. Gov. Vance will deliver the annual address. We acknowledge the receipt of a com-~ plimentary ticket. Winston.—I'rom the number of ain- gle and double column advertisements in the Winston Sentinel, we are of the opin- ion that not only a great many new firms lave gone up in that thriving town, but that the merchants are doing a driving business. We never did see a paper 80 completely taken up with home advertise- meuts, and when we consider that this is the best evfdence of the prosperity of the place and its people, it aleo shows that Winston is fledging her wings for a grand Hight of futare business, prosperity and growth. There are undoubtedly great efforts making by her citizens to concen- trate the trade of a large section of coun try, and if enterprise, energy, and business tactare worthy of success they will achieve it. The Rail Road reeendy extending to their town gives them many advantages, and they are making use of them. We commend their enterprise. In the mean time, we will venture again to repeat the suggestion, so often made through the Watchman, that our citizens, business men and merchants, must show a similar spirit if they would retain even the limited ficld of trade they now hold. We have made many blunders in the past; among these we consider the failure to prosecute necting this place with Wilmington, the greatest. The fact is our people have got to do something, or our business will dry ap. to completion the Yadkin Rail Road, con- | ate an ae sadn Be = A Good Idea,—The city fathers of Salem have passed an ordiriance requiring those: who obstruct the pavements and streets with lamber, &c., while building or repaiting their houses, to supply a safii- cient light at aight for the convenience and safety of the public in passing. A Grand Grange Turnout.—On Thursday of our Fair there will be a Grand Grange procession, composed of all the mem- bers of the order in this section uf country. Col. W. E. Aiken of S.C., the founder of the order in this State, will deliver an address. The high character of Col. Aiken as an able and eloquent speaker is too well known to require reference here. Every farmer in the whole country should be suro to hear him. Our Fair.—If nothing happens to pre- vent it, our Fair will be a grand success in- deed. The entries that have been made al- ready out-namber those of previvus years. A very anugual turnout of fine stock is ex- pected. Floral Hall, the ladies’ department, will probably not be equaled in the State, by superior articles of handiwork. Many of our farmers, and we hope all, or nearly all, will be on hand with specimens of their pro- ducts. It will be a great loss to those who fail to come. Jennie Phillips, a widow woman, and a man by the name of Napier, have been arrested, charged with the supposed mur- der of an Irish Peddler, near Roaring Gap, Wilkes county, N. C., about a month ago. The body of the man who is sup posed to have been murdered, bas not been found. His pack, pistol, and pipe were found in the possession of the wo- man. ‘lhe Salem Press says that a citizen of that town, while working in his garden on Saturday last, was stang on one of his fingers by what is known asa cornworm. His hand soon began to swell, which ex- tended to his arm and body, causing ter- rible suffering and delirium. The great poison antidote—corn whiskey— was giv- en to the bitten man in considerable quan- ties, which relieved him and effected a complete recovery. A Most Foul Murder has been committed in this county. Whether the crime has been fully or properly investi gated, we shall not at this time undertake to settle. The fact that a most revoltiun® crime bas been committed is well known, and it is the duty of every good citizen to see to it that the guilty perpetrators are brought to jastice. The body of an unknown man was found the Creek at the Rumple bridge near the Statesville road, last Friday morning. On removing it, it was found to be that of a man about 5 feet 8 inches high, rather thick set, round face, dark hair, slightly grey, black mustache and whiskers. ‘lhe clothing on tue body. was good: black coat and vest, pants dark grey with stripes up the outer sides of the leg, linen bosom shirt and collar, blue silk neck tie, and kait under shirt. No papers or writing could be found about the persou by which it could be identified. ‘The skull was fractured on both sides of the head and the Icft jaw-bone broken.— Around the body was a bag tied with a hame string and in the bag abont forty pounds of rocks. A coroner’s inquest has failed to elicit any satisfactory cvidence as to the guilt of the villainous porpetra-~ tors of the shocking crime. ‘T'wo negroes were arrested and examined, bnt nothing of importance discovered. The matter should not, however, be allowed to rest. ieee Oar Manufacturing Interests. in A Visit to the Rowan Mills Handle and Rim Works, [Special Correspondence Landmark. ] Dear LANDMARK:—To sce rough blocks of timber, fresh from the woods, being converted in a few minutes into a beautitul pile of the most symmetrical and elegant polished handles for implements you ever laid eyes on, aud peste strips of‘oak swiftly assmiug the nicely curved form of pefect wheelrims under the plastic pressure of two great tireless arms of steel, is not simpty remarkable—it is truly wonderful—it seems like a miracle of machinery. ‘To see it here, in a section of country wherethe manufaciuring impulse has been almost stagnant, is a real surpriee; it is a new, striking, and unlooked for develop- ment of our native interest; it evinces a happy and discreet idea in the employ- ment of capital, and a degree of public spirit aud individual enterprise highly creditable to all who are connected with the operation. If a citizen or two can accomplish this much—TIf they can thus heartily prefer the honorable activity, the prompt and lucra~ tive returns, the Brod development of home resources and the solid support of home laborers, arising from this invest+ ment of capital, to the far too common and indolent practice of letting out mon- ey on mortgages at twelve per cent— what long lines of manufactories, what busy swarms of happy operatives, what complete deliverance of vur old State from, her financial troubles would speedily ens sue, if alJ our eapitalist would do like- wise! Such was the drift of my reflections, while for several hours this morning I enjoyed the privilege of inspecting the Rowan Mitts Hanxpie anp Rim WokkS, half a mile west of Third Creek Station. They have been in succesful operation since January, 1873-—owned and worked entirely by Southern men—Mr. S. F. Lord being the chief manager and busis ness agent. Maultitudes of hands have found constant and independent employ- ment here, who could not have obtained eqalnant wages eleewhere. Quantities of wood, otherwise nearly useless on the neighboring farms, have here been utile eae Sana Aten foe ae ized for I-kinds and styles. of bandle The, Make vast Gunbead. of axe~helyes—but I saw as many as tlirty different patterng—for aledges, haichets, railroad picks, and every other imagina ble purpose. They employ about fort hands,-and turn out from’ 60 to 100 deden of handles per day, according tothe size of handle. They ean easily make 50 sets of rims perday.. ~ - Each handle, from the time of its ar- rival at the faetory till it is finished and ready for packing and shipment, passes through fourteen different hands, which will give you some idea how they muat push things, when it is recollected that they finish 60 dozen per day. With am- ple facilities—an 80 horse power and the very latest and best improved machinery ——the goods are made ready for market at a uniform rate of the most marvellous speed and the most delicious smoothness of finish. I was not at all surprised to learn that these handles have always taken the pre- mium, at every fair at which they have been exhibited ; their superiority is evi- dent at a glance. So great has beck the demand for them, the proprietors have been often compelled to run the works night and day, to keep up with the press- ure of theirorders. - ; Most of their work, is gent direct to New York and Boston, and thenee re- distributed through the Soyth. Southern merchants, as a:general thing, are going to New York to buy these same articles when they are actually made at their very doors almost. The rims which they manofacture for wagons, buggies and sulkies are anequall- ed in elasticity and strength. A greater cariosity than this rim-machine and the machinery of the works generally would be hard to find; and I advise the seekers of strange sights to look in on them. The field for the prospective increase and enlargement of this evterprise is a wide one; and I understand the proprie- torsewill make addition to their work as they preceive the need for it. Adjoining these works is the splendid steam grist mill of Mcasers. Emmert’ Brothers. It is one of the best buildings of the kind in the State. They make about 30 barrels of flour in 12 hoars, and from 15 to 20 bushels of meal per hour on the corn burr. These gentleman have been long and favorably known as mil- lers here. In my next letter I may give you a description ot the surrounding eountry— the “Garden of Scotch Ireland,” as it is called. ButI must defer this for the present. hPa. ae THE GRAPE AND ITS GREATEST ENEMY. We invite the attention of grape growers to the subjoined interesting and. valuable letter from Dr. Francis Kiron, of Albemarle, Stanly county, N. C., on a subject of great importance to the grape-growing interests of this State, which is now looking so fair and promising. SEPTEMBER 24th, 1874. Dear Sir: In the issue for Sept. 17th, of your ably corducted Carolina Watchman, there is an article on grape vines and vine- yards, in North‘ Carolina, to which my at- tention has been especially called. In it, the writer gives it as my opinion “that the wes- tern part of North Carolina is not, and nev- er can be, a good wine producing country.” Such is not my conclusion after forty years of experience and close observation of facts in nearly every section of North Carolina. If the opinion of so unpretending a cultivator of the grape as myself can have any influ- ence on the action of others engaged in the same pursuit, I will here give it, it is this: That there is no part of the world I have seen, read or heard of, equal to North Caro- lina, from the sea-board to the mountains, in capabilities owing to soil and climate, to produce Wine in abundance and of the first quality, if we only can get rid of the grape vine borer, the geria Polysta formis of ento- mologists. ‘ So much depends on the cure of that plague, that ever since my discovery of the grape vine borer in 1850, I have spared no efforts to give the alarm to vine-growers, that they might keep on the look out, if possible, find out a remedy, save themselves from certain loss, and insure te the country the advantages its soil and climate present to grape growing on the largest scale. Con- jointly with the late Professor Mitchell, off Chapel Hill, and T. W. Harris, of Cambrige, there was published a detailed description of the insect in the Raleigh Register for April 5th, 1854. That description was since reprinted in pamphlet form and liberally sent abroad. I herewith direct to you a copy of the same. Specimens of the borer, some of which reached alive, were sent to the Patent Office, by the enlightened mana- gers of which, they were fully noticed ; for, the distinguished naturalist of that depart- ment, Mr. T. Glower, published a descrip- tion with figures, in the Agricultural Report for 1854. Specimens were also sent to France, to the superintendent of the vast collection of grape vines in the garden of tlie Luxem- bourg, in Paris, where the fact of the exis- tence of such an enemy to the grape vine, unknown in Europe, was considered worthy of the greatest attention. The borer has now been identified in all the southern States, in Tennesye, Kentucky, along the Ohio river, and in Missouri. Ina late No. of the monthly Agricultural report it is mentioned that an unknown worm was destroying the grape vines in Utah. I have not doubt it will prove to be the borer pro- gressing towards the Rocky mountains. If suffered to cross the latter we may say fare- well to the vineyards of California. Theirs will be the fate of my plantations, where grape vines by the thousand from all parts of the grape-growing world were attempted to be cultivated during forty years and more, where all flourished for a time but where now in spite of all care, only a few vines re- main, not more than six out of 125 varietics. The borer is as destructive to the native as to the foreign grapes. A Clinton grape obtained from your highly esteemed towns- man, L. Blackmer, Esq., grew beautifully for a few years, bore abundantly and yielded a good wine. Not a solitary root of the Clin- ton is now left here. . A short description of the borer is this: In the perfect state it is a butterfly, very much ltke the yellow wasp in size and shape. It makes its appearance from July to Sep- tember, for the sole purpose of pairing. The female, much larger than the male, will drop as many as 400 eggs; that many have been taken from several of them. They scatter the eggs broadcast, as it were. A minute Beabinatches from the egg, feeds, at first, on the ultimate spongioles of the vine near the surface; eats it away to the main root, where, hid under the bark, he works his way up to the trunk of the vine. Arrived there the vine is nearly killed. He now forms his co- toon, out of which in July er August, or of- ten as early as June, he comes out a butter- fly, as his parents had done before him. Y | the. borer is yet. to be discovered. I * is all over the thought, at first hes rive eta or wild .m whic! ep omy borer can do nothing’ tie the , Very pro: for a few did not prove nent. So: the rem poe tly hope that the gentlemen whom article mentions as eultivating the ine uae: fully and whomi I now caution to be on their guard against the borer; may find out, when unfortunately the enemy gets a foothold in their vineyards, ‘the much needed . remedy which I have, so far, failed to discover. * The Scuppernong, white or black, is the only grape we can rely on for extensive wine making in over one half of our State.. It ig higher north than Maryland, nor farther west than the oak land in the Alleghany hills, Sand.and sapdy loam is its favorite soil.. Hence our piny woods from the sea- shore to the meridian of Gold Hill can be, and in some spots already have been, con- varted into prosperous Scuppernong vine- yards. In the course of time those piny woods from Virginia to Texas may be made to produce wine enoagh to supply the world, and a wine, too, fully equa!, in all its quali- ties, to the best the world now produces, You now have my opinion and the facts upon which it has been formed. If that is mere theory I do not know what name to Bie to conclusions from carefully observed apa As for my considering the Lenoir, the Lincola and the Elsingburg as only different names for the same grape, I am far from it. The Lenoir and the Lincoln probably are the same grape; but the Elsingburg, the grape described by Downing in his Fruits and Fruit Trees of America, is a different variety altogether: the berries are smaller, sweeter, less pulpy, and of earlier maturity than those of the Lenoir. When the borer can be kept away from the latter grapes, there are none, the Scuppernong excepted, that will make a more generous wine. We did make it here before the borer broke us up, equal to the best far famed Madeira, and have no doubt that others have made it, and now do make it, in the same perfection, any where in North Carolina, from the sea-board to the blue ridge, wherever the grape vine borer has not yet taken a foothold. Very respectfully and truly yours, F. J. KRON. J. J. BRUNER, Esq. “I wonld not be a woman, for then I eould not love her,” says Mantalgne. Lady M. W.

On Saturday night last, an unfortanate affair occurred near Heatheville, in this county, resulting in the killing of George W. Daniel, negro, at the hands of Mr. Joseph R. Branch. The circumstances as we hear from John Batchlor and Ed. Wyche, two negroes who were present, are these: Some parties in the neigh borhood, went fox-hauting Saturday morning and, by in vitation, went to the house of Mr. T. B. Browning to dinner, Mr. Branch among the number. Daniel was there, in what capacity we know not. Mr. Browning, with his asual hospitality, had provided some whiskey for his guests, of which Daniel drank as well as Mr. Branch and others. Late in the evening the whiskey gave out and Mr. Branch took Daniel behind him on his hofse and, in company with Mr. Shearin.. went to. Howerton’s store, two miles distant, and got another sup- ply. On their retarn they bad a dispute about spelling a word, when Daniel drew a pistol aud threatened to shoot Branch, who asked him not to shoot him, telling him he was unarmed. Once in a while they would make friends, and than as the whiskey took more effect the pistol would again be drawn and the threats of shoots ing be repeated. At last all thought the difficulty was made up and Mr. Brancb mounted his horse to go home when Daniel seized the reins and ordered bim to diamonut saying, with an oath, he would kill him anyhow. Finally Mr. Branch got away aud started home, Daniel following bim nearly a half-mile when he (Daniel) was overtaken by his wife and Ed. Wyche the latter of whom had been instrumental in preventing Daniel from carrying out his threats. Mr. Branch went home and got his shot guo and returned—coming up with the party not far from Mr. Viuk Hardy’s home. Ashe rode up he said; “Yor are the man who wanted to shoot me?” “Yes,’ says Daniel, “and G-d-d-n yoo I'l! du it now” and at the same time turned aud drew his pistol when Branch shot lim, the load entering the upper portion of the abdomen from which he died an hour afterwards. Both were said to be peaceable, law-abiding citizens when sober but uncontrollable wnen under the influence of whiskey. The unfortunate affair is greatly regretted by all who knew of it.

Tae proprietor guarantees you an absolute and perfect cure. Reference is made to the extraordinary cure of Professor Lawrence, Principal. of the Insti tutes of Klocution at New York and Philadel- phia. He says as follows: : “About ten years ago, while residing in New Jersey, I hada violent attack of chills and fever. The chill would come on regularly about ten o’clock, and continue for nearly two hours, followed by a burning fever for more than five hours, which no medicine would relieve ; and I became so week that I could hardly walk across the room, and could not ascend one flight of stairs in less time than ten minutes. My life became a burden to me. I loathed every kind of fuod, and even water tasted to me like copperas, Icould get no refreshing sleep either by night or by day ; the medicine prescribed for me by physicians gave me no relief, and E was fast sinking into the grave. One day a lady persuaded me to pur chase a box of Bellamy’s Pills. Itook three at twelye o’clock noon, and three at night. After taking the two dose3 I felt better, and that night, for the first time in three months, slept for fully eight hours. The next morming I felt much better, and took three more pills. As ten o'clock epproacted I prepared myselt for may daily chill, but to my intense joy my unwelcome visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o’clock, I took three more pills, and at nightthree more. The next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at seven o’clock, feeling quite well; and although still very week, yet I was able to en- joy my food, and whether eating or drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me. In about seven daye’ time I was strong enough to walk four miles, and felt perfectly cured Ten years have elapsed since then, and I have never had another attack of Chills and Fever. “P. LAWRENCE, “New YorK CONSEBYATORY CF MUSIC “5 Eastl4th Street.” Tn conclusion, the proprietor has only to state that he will guarantee to cure any case of Chills and Fever. No see will over in sach case be exacted The patient is at Mberty to ay ornot. All that is desired is, that he will ivrrards certificate of his cure at an early ate. PRICE, ONE DOLLAR PER BOX.

Walker’s California Vin- egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable paration, made chicfly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sicrra Nevada mountains of Califer- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted thercfrem without the uso of Alcohol. Tho question is almost daily asked. “ Wha" is the cause of the unparalleled success of 'V LNEGAR“BIT- TERS?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease. and the patient re- covers his health.

No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or over means, and vital orgwis Wasicd beyoud repair. Bilious, Remiitent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout tue United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Olio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea- sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful induence upon these various o7- gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITrers, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with whieh the bowels aro loaded, at tho same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body azainst disease by purifying all its fhuids with VingGar Birrens. No epidemic cn take bold of a system thus fore-armed.

In these, as in all other constitutional Dis- eases, WALKER’S VINEGAR BItTers bave shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tentand Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Litters have no ogi. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. —Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, ‘ype-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER’S VIN- EGAR BITTERS occasionally. For Skin Discases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spets, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worus, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Iteb, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No systein of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelminitics will free the system frum worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonio Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. , R. H. McDONALD & OD., Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, C: aod cor. of Washington and Chariton Sts., N. Y.

We count np a crop worth hundreds of miliions—wake a grand show upon paper — our wonderful resours iees are blazoned before the world; ‘The | South, recuperated and prosperous,” is | written upon our banner, and yet wheu }our balance sheet is made out at the end of the year, we have not a dollar, and jmust give liens or mortgages to raice ; money to run the machine another year. i For seven long years the Southern piac- ter has devoted bis whole energy to mak ing cotton, and this very day he is a poorer map than be was in 1866. His fences are all gone, his houses in a dilapidated condition, his farm stock dead or in bad condition—less order or system, worse agricultivation. No hog and hom- _luy of bis own raising, aud dependent. up- ‘on others for everything butcotton ‘There { ‘may be exceptions, but no one can deny ‘that this is the geueral condition of the country. And worse than all this, there ‘is a lack of confidence in man’s integrity. No maa can trust his neighbor—‘his word is as good as his boud,” is a myth, Doubtless bad legisistion and bad asao- ciation have had mech to do with our demoraliz vion, but we are reaponsible for no little of it. We have not, and it seems as it we ‘never will, realize the importance of diver- sifying our industry. It is the burden of ‘every agricultural address — it is admitted by all, etill year after year we follow in the old route as doggedly as ever. It scems imposeitle for us to realize the im- ' portance of anything smaller than «# cots ton bale. We send millions of dollars annually to Nurserymen and seedemen for thiugs we could easily grow at home, of better quali- ty. Every city, village and cross-road ecore in the country bas ita Northern garden seed for sale and supplies its sur- roundings with everything from a ‘‘Ros- ten’ ear,’’ to a turnip seed. | Will any one deny that, with a little _ pains taken, we could raise just as good jseed at home? It is a emall matter, I | have heard one eay. Yes, that ig the j trouble; we will not recognize the value ‘of «mall matters. We passed a farmer, a few hours ago, | ploughing. His plough was made in Penn- sylvania; his bridle somewhere North, : bie hames of Northern leather; his back- | band cost bim seventy five cefts—wheu | @ yard of Graniteyille drill would have |made three much better ones—but this was ready-made and looked nice, every~ thing but his shuck collar was for- eign. We will not learn the importance of economy iu small matters. We canhot realize the fact that planting on the old scale bas been numbered among things that were. Nothing like geauine, uniform prosperity can be looked for until we stop the leaks on tbe farm and surround our- selves with all the home industries which go toward making us independent. Patronize yourown mechanics —eucour- age every new enterprise which adds to the capital, population, or the prosperity of the country. Let cotton or tobacco be i your staple crop, but dovetail every other | species of industry in that youcan. These ;may be hard Jessons to leain, but the sooner we begin the better—we will have | to come to it some time.

The Boston Traveller, in commenting on the prevalence of rudeness, tells the following ixcident that happened some years ago: There was a very plainly-dressed elder- ly lady who was a frequent customer at ton. No one in the store knew her even by name. All the clerks but one avoided her and gave their attention to those who were better dressed and more pretentious. The exception was a young man who had @ conscientious regard for duty and sys-. tem. He never left another customer to wait on the lady, but whep at liberty he waited on ber with as much attention as though she had been a princess. This continued a year or two, until the young man became of age. One morning the lady approached the young man, when the following conversation took place: Lady : “Young man, do you wish to go into business for yourself ?” “Yes, ma’am,” he responded, but I have neither money, credit, uor ftrieuds, nor will any one trust me.” “Well,” continaed the lady, “you go and select a good situation, ask what the rent is, and report to me,” handing the young man her address. The yoang man went, found a capital location, a good estore, bat the landlord required security, which he could not give Miodful of the lady's request, he forthwith went to her and reported. “Well,” she replied, “you go and tell Mr. that I will be respansi- ble.” He went and thg landlord or agent was surprised, but the bargain was closed.— The next day, the lady called to ascertain the result. The young man told her, bat added: “Whatam I to do for goods } No one will trust me?” “You may go and see Mr. —~, and M. ,and Mr. , and tell them to call on me.” He did, and bis store was soon stocked with the best goods in the market. There are many in this city who remember the circumstances and the man. He died many years since,and left a fortune of $300,000.

Envy is one of the most despicable of passivus. There is scarcely a erime to whiciyit will not lead its victims = 1t was envy that robbed poor Nabotu of his vine- yard, and added murder to the theft. It was eavy that led the guiliy Absalom to desire the throve of his father David. It destroys all that is best and noblest in character. So subtle is it in its workings that we learn on the highest testimouy that “envy is rotteuness of the bones; it eats out all honor aud mauliness; it gives sleeples nights and restless days.

Suddenly, and without the slightest warn- ing of his intention, Wilson doubled him- self up and leaped fiom the car window, head foremost, and fell flat upon his back with his head towardthe engine. As he went out the window Mr. Caldwell caught his feet, but the motion of the train broke bis hold.

We sincerely regret to learn that the Rev. Heury Asbury, living near Dry Poud, Liucoln county, died unexpectedly on Thursday last, the 1st of October. Karly in the morning of that day, about 7 or 8 o'clock, he complained of feeling unwell with apain in his body. After bathing his side with Kerosene oil he took aeeat infront of the fire place in his room, and it ig supposed he fainted ‘and fell into the fire, or his clothing caught in some way, for when the family was aroused he was found in the yard with his clothing nearly all burnt off, and in a dying condition. Dre. Sherrill aad Roz zell were promptly in attendance but could reoder uo material asgistance to the good, great and dying man. He expired about 6 o’clock in the afternoon. Mr Aebury had been a local Minisier of the Me.hodist EK. Church, South, for over 50 years, and did much good for the cause of religion in his day and geueration. He was over 75 years old, and all who knew him believe that he was prepared to meet the sudden and anexpected summons of his Heavenly father,—Charlotte Demo- ; Committee. crat. lization of his department, its connections ‘with the marshals of the districts, its vaet expenditures, ifs superintendence of pros~ jecutiona uader Ka Klux and other pre- tenses; employment of the regular army hoftthe Usdted S:ates in the municipal alfuirs of the Siate 8. gives this promiueuce to him in the Southern States. ‘The magnitude of this power way be illustras ted by a single fact.

Senator Schurz has lately said that the Republi, ean party cannot afford to maintain Mar. sbal Packard iu the ewplcy meuts he holds aud the acts be performs. ‘This does not sufficiently expose the actual danger. The people of the United States, if they value their constitution and liberties, cannot afford to ‘allow the Dey-artment of Justice to interfere in State and wunicipal affairs, to employ the army of the Uuited States either to set up or to pall down State governments. The result in tume will be that the existing govern m ‘nt of these United States will be pulled down by the same agencies and instrumentalitics and adynastic government will take its place. ee WasHINGTON, Oct. 1.—The marriage of Miss Maria Ewing Sherman, daughter of Gen. aud Mra W.

The killing of Mr. Andrew Woody, a highly respectable citizen of Madison county, a few days ago, by Deputy Mar- thal Rice, has already been announced inthe Citizen. Me. Rice immediately came to Asheville, and ander a writ of habeas corpus, was allowed to re- miin simply in the custody of the Sheriff of Buncombe until the case could be in- vestigated by His Honor, Judge Watts, which was doue last Saturday. The case was thoroughly examined into, both sides being ably represented by counsel, the re- cult of which was Judge Watts refused bail and committed Rice to jail to await the action of she grand jury of Madison. It seems that there is a law of Congress allowing the pets of the administration, whenever they commit ow ragee aguiust the citizens of a State, either by the tak~ ing of life or the destruction of property, which is done quite frequently, to swear they cau’t get justice in the State Courts and having their cases tried by the Fed eral Court, which is generally uuderatood to be a safe asylum for all such lawbreak ers. Quite a number of men have been kill- ed iu this district during tbe last few years, aud the parties have sworn them- selves out of the State Coums in every iustance, we think, and as often have they escaped avy punishment at the hands of the Federal tibunal to which they fly. So tar from any punishmeut being meted out to the offeuders, in one instance we have heard of recently the guilty were actually allowed to compromise the mat- ter out of the Court aud end the matter. ¢ Does Honestus. in conversation, dare to offer his opinion cf matters aud things ? | Sapieutius Sueerbagger talks right on as if he had’ut beard him any more than a dog | barking ; or assumes a lofty, wise, silent. selfish, owl-like air of unconcern; or goes | on to insinuate, in so meny words, that, Honestus is scarcely worthy of uotice, and is. always t) be regarded as a mere cipher of | humanity, a boru fool aud a predestined liar. | Iu the Art of Sueering, at least, Mr. Sueer- | bagger is entitled toe graduate’s degree and | Was ever such proceedings heard of before in the auuals of jurisprudence 7 Is it a wonder that these peculiar represen tatives of the great Radical despotism are so thoroughly careless, even reckl -ss as regards the taking of life, when they have every reason for believing they cau fly to the Federal Court and there judicially “washed of their sins,” aud turned loose to kill again ?

So it appears that CotvmBus did not discover America, and that SHAKESPEARE did not write the plays so long attributed to him.

They had been beaten in the prolonged struggle ; and now they hones tly desired to live as citizens, and not as enemies, in the land where they were born. During the war their efforts bad been so tremendous, and so uuanimous, that it is not too much to say that they remain without a precedent in history. Their pacification was equally as aston» ishing and unparalleled’ The war dinag peared as if by magic. Its spirit, as as its manifestation, utterly ceased; sa, that we who were conquerers, were enae- ble to disband our armies, and of the ane million men that we bad enrolled for theie subjugation, bardly a corporal’s was retained under the standard to detend our conquest through the whole enormous area of the Confederacy. with the submission of the South began a new drama as inhuman and revolting ag slavery, and more subtly terrible than the worst evils of war. Peace wae asked and promised, and the form of civil governs ment; but while this promise was kept to the ear, it was broken to the sense. We did not call them conquered provinces, : but States; and proceeded to let loose ap- on them an insatiable swarm of pluaderera whose like was neverscen. The caroival of speculation, fraud and public plunder which has prevailed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mise- issippi, Arkangas and Louisiana for these eight yeara surpasses belief, and cannot be justly appreciated at the present day, Georgia and Texas have been saved by the early overthrow of the Republican party withia their limits aud the transfer of their Goverument into honest bands; but in the other States villainy bas run an incredible riot, and Legislators, Governors and Judges have outdone all previous conception respecting the potentiality of theft. The people are stripped; theie property is so worthless that it will not aell for the taxes; and yet the rapacity of, these official brigands is unseated. crushing load of publie debt is heaped upon eaeh of these States; bat the pro= ceeds have been stolen, and there is noth- ing to show for what ‘he citizens are call- ed upon to pay. Aud to crown and pers petuate these wrongs the most ingenious devices are putin force to keep the robbers in authority and to deprive the people of even the possibility of turuing them. out by means of the ballot. Such is, in brief, the history of recons atruction; such is the present condition of the Southern people; aud euch are’ the reasous why, in 1874, when a portion of them are driven to utter desperation by eight years of boundless extortion and hopeless fiaud, it ie necessary to etreteh out the military arm aud send bayonets among them ouce more. ‘he facts are patent and anquestiouable; and the North- ern people cauuut pouder them too wisely or too well. ————~-a—__—_ A ReMaRKABLE AcciDEeNt —Oa Tueeday night a freight train on the Val-_ ley Railroad, approaching a trestle work four hundred feet long, below woodstock, came across two horses on the track?

We see it stated that this gentleman is out in a letter opposing the calling of a ~.nvention by the next Legislature. j!, when we remember that Mr. Con- and opposed the Convention move of i-71, and wrote to the Old North State inen publish here, setting forth his views in opposition to those of the great mass of he Conservative party, we do not suppose that any Democrat or Conservative will be influenced by his opinions now. In saying this we do not mean to impeach Mv. C's loyalty to Conservatives : but we -y not think him consistent, or his views fortied to much weight on this subject ad at this time. eS ‘ry@ Democratic Committee of Peunsyl- cavia has isssued an address, in which they say: ““Tadustry is not profitable; the manufac- tories are langnishing ; the coal and iron in- ter-sts are depressed ; the farmers are pot reaping adequate reward for their toil, and labor is calling tor employment. The people are poorer to day than at any late period in our history. Factories are ‘dle and farms are fer sale, witbout buyers. in every eounty ip Pennsylvania.

There are many other things that will suggest themselves to the reader, all going to show the pressing need of a Conven- tion of the people, and at this time. If it be the best policy for the Cunservative party to do a most foolish thing,—if it be desirable to bring its name and leaders into contempt,—if it be the wish of the policy men to destroy the future usefal- ness of the Conservative party in this State, and to briug shame and final de- struction upon it @8 an organization, let the next Legislature refuse to call 1 Con- veation, and the work will be irretrievably effected. The next Legislatare will have a two- thirda majoritygof Conservatives, and they will be beld strickly responsible for the action of the body. It willbe iw possible for them all to agree fully ; bata majority of the Conservatives should control the action of all the members of the party io that body. Nothivg should be done bastily and out of order, but every thing calmly and in order. No question or important bill sbould be thrust forward for consideration or adoption without due consultation and | careful consideration. A question that has been properly weighed and deemed by a majority of sufficient importance to be incorporated into a bill to become a law, should be encouraged and endorsed by all the members of the party. Ip short, after the Convention question has been duly considered and discussed, if it be found that a majority of the Conservative members favor it, it should be endoraed and sustained by all. This policy, in the conduct of legislative matters, is absolute- ly necessary 80 long as we have such an unscrupulous foe to deal with. The refusal of our party members to stand to- gether in this way two years ago, iu the inatter what his profession or what kind of labor he performs.

Whenever men agre2 to labor at whatever their bande find to do, and be coutent with inoderate success, there will be fewer idle hands and less complaint on accvunt of the upprotitableness of iudustry. —__ > A LETTER FROM JUDGE MANLY. We take great pleasure in being able to lay before oue readers the views of -Jadge Manly on the Convention Question. his letter is calm, pointed, forcible, and should pe carefully perused b7 every citizen of the State who feels any interest in the advancement of euch measpres as are best ealculated to promote the general welfare. Judge Maniy is an able lawyer, n profound thinker, a pradent and judici~ ous statemen, and abvoye al] be is not an ofice-seeker. His atterances are, there- fore, intitled to the highest consideration. After reading this letter every intelligent and thinking man will be impressed with the trath of the assertions we have bere tofore made through the Watchman, namely; that the present Canby or Rogues’ constitution is oppressive, unsait- ed to the wants of our people and an obataele in the way of all needed legisla- tion ; that the best interests of onr Btate and people demand that it be immediately remodeled, re-written 5 that the Convens» tioa mode ia the cheapest and surest method of changing it; that now ia the time te change it by calling a Convention of the people; tbat failure to call a Con- yertion now will amount to sp indefinite get rich; they! .petenoy—with a| ek Bin be patie Ei: ROY ite on the part of the secoud legislature to doue. the riek of losing the whole by the failure pass the bill identical in all its parte, that was proposed by the first. A question is made as to the validity of the amendments of August 1873 upon the ground above indicated, which ia now pending we are intormed in the Supreme Coart of the State. A Convention is the only adequate remedy for the intolerable political evils that beset as and the sooner it is called the better. 3. Premising all proper respect and de. ference to the approaching General Asaem bly, and relying upon gheir better judg- ment for wise and patriotic action in the premiees, I proceed to auswer your third iuterugatory. If the reynisite number in each House concar as to the necessity of a Convention I see no reasou why it should not be called this winter. The experience of the past few years convinces me that le-sislation in North Carolina to any good end must be crip- pled and inefficient as long as the constit- ution remains as it igs. We are passing continually from bad to worse. We are encumbered with public debt that must ultimately crush us, unless something be The opportunity for selfish and unprincipled demagogues atill further to encumber and plunder us is afforded by the lawa as they now stand; and these must be changed. ‘The risk of losing the present majorities, if such riak would be incurred by action (which I do not believe) is insignificant compared with the great benefits to be derived from the ameud- | ments proposed. ‘The evil would be of; trifling import, temporary in its nature, | and reparable at the ballot-Lox; the good | great, permanent, and laeting probabl, for all time to come. ‘The summer elec | tions proved a wide spread opposition to | the existing order of things.

If all the ailments, bodily and mental, which torment the human family could be traced to their primary sources, it would probably be found.that three-fourthe of them orininated in the failure of the stomach and the other organ by which the food is converted into nutriment and applied to the purposes of life, to perform the tasks allotted to them by nature, vigorously and regularly. This being the case ‘the vast importance of a medicine which compels these organs to do their whole duty, thoroughly and efficiently, becomes at once apparent. Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bicters may be truly characterized aa preparation of this kind, indeed as the only one which can be implicitly relied on-as com- bining the properties of & stomachic, an alter- ative and an aperient in such proportions as to produce simultaneously the desired effect upon the disordered stomach, liver and intestines This conclu-ion is warrented by the celerity and certainty with which the Bitters afford relief in chronic cases of dyspepsia, torpidity of the liver and constipation. The false idea that these complaints and others that grow out of them, could be cured by fierce catharties, has at last, it is hoped, been thoroughly exploded. The sick, during the last hundred years have swallowed thousands of tons of mercury, scam- mony, gamboge, croton vil, jalap, &e., and tens of thousands of graves have been prematurely filled thereby. But every since the principle of revolation, as embodied in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, was arrayed against “the principle of prostration, as represented by mineral salivants and furious purgatives, the latter has steadily and sureiy fallen into deserved contempt. . The of depleting drenches hoped to give eclat to their disgusting and dangerous compounds has only served to increase the demand for the wholesome stimulant, tonic and alerative which tor twenty-five years triuphed over all opposi- fion and is now the most popular medicine in the Western hemisphere. ———— A BEAUTIFUL METAL their deceased relatives. to $60, acéording to size and atyle. , Cau galvanized to suit the taste of purchasers. inscription parties desire, is offered at such prices as fo piace I with and public generally Speeimen can be aven al J A.

All my own experience of life teaches me the contempt of cunning, not the fear. The phrase “‘profutnd cunning” has al- ways seemed to me a cantradiction in terms. I never knew a cunning mind which was not either shallow, or in some points, diseased.—Mrs. Jameson. Among the most aristocratic young ladies of the principal cities of Europe there are many of them who smoke their cigarettes, secretly, as regularly as the meno do their pines and cigars. In the Spanish Americas it is notorious that the ladies all sntoke cigaretts, and in some of the South and Ceatral American States they smoke the largest kind of cigars.

Horace wrote a note to a brother editor in New York whose writing was equally illegible with his own. The recipient of the note not being able to read it, sent it back by the same messenger to Mr. Greeley tor elucidation. Supposing it to be the an- swer to his own note, Mr. Greeley looked over it but likewise Was unable to read it, and said to the hoy: “Go take it back.

NO MERCURY! NWO ARSENIC! OX Dr. Bellamy’s Pills, This invaluable medicine involves a PER- FECTLY NEW TREATMENT of CHILLS AND FEVER, and will effectually cure and root out the disease from the system. 1. All other remedies must not be taken when the chiil and fever fit is on; but the ~Bel- lamy” Pill can betuken just us safely when the Take once a week during the season of Chills and Fover, they will Positively ward off and pre- vent an attack—making a residence in the inost infected districts perfectly safe. 2. The “Bellamy” Pillis also a sure remedy in all cases of Intermittent Fever, Remittent Fever, Typho'd Fevei; Sick Headache, Indi- gestion, and LiverCumplaints ofall kinds. 3. After you are entirely discouraged and hopeless and all other remedies have failed, make one more trial, procure cue Box of Bel- lamy’s Pills and take them. Tle proprietor guarantees you an absolute and perfect cure. Reference is nade to the extraordinary cure of Professor Lawrence, Principal of the Insti tutes of Elocutiou at New York and Philadel- phia He says as follows: “About ten years ago, while residing in New Jersey, I hada violent attack of chills and fever. The chill would come on regularly about ten o’elock, and continue for nearly two hours, followed by a burning fever for more than five hours, whichno medicine would reheve ; and [T became so week that I eould hardly waik across the room, and could’ not ascend one flight of stairs in less time than ten minutes. My life becamea burden to me. I loathed every kind of food, and even water tasted to me like copperas, I could get no refreshing sleep either by night or by day; the medicine prescribed for ime by physicians gave me no relicf, and Iwas fast sinking into the grave. One day a lady persuaded me to pur chase a box of Bellamy’s Pills. I took three attwelye o'clock noon, and three at night’. After taking the two doses I felt better, and that nigbt, tor the first time in three months, slept for fully eight hours. The next morning I felt much better, and took three more pills. As ten o'clock approached [ prepared myseli for my daily chill, but to my intense jey my unwelcome visitor did not come; and after eating a hearty dinner at one o'clock, I took three nore pills, and at night three more. The’ next morning, after a delightful night’s rest, I arose at seven o'clock, feeling quite well; and although still very week, yet I was able to en- Joy my food, and whether eating or drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleasant to me. In about seven dayy’ time I was strong enough to walk four miles, and felt perfectly cured Ten years have elapzed since then, and I have never had another attack of Chills and Fever. “P. LAWRENCE, “NEw YorK CONSERVATORY ¢F MUSIC “5S Kast!l4th Street.” In conclusion, the proprietor has only to state that he will guarantee to cure any case of Chills and Fever. No yee will ever in sach casgbe exacted The patient is at liberty to ay or not. All that is desired is, that he will age a certificate of his cure at an early ate. PRICE, ONE DOLLAR PER BOX.

Walker’s California Via- egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable paration, made chiefly from the pa- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of tke Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. Tho question is almost daily asked, “ Wha’ is the cause of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR Bit- TEks?” Our answer ‘s, that they remove the cause of disease and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a -ife-giving prineiple, a perfect Renovator aud Invi of the system. Never before in the histury of the world has a medicine been compotinded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vixecar Li rreas in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. ey are a gentle Purgative as well as 8 Tonic, relieving Congestion or Infammation of the Liver and V sceral Organe * Bilious Diseases me The propectics o: 2% WALKER’S VineGar L1Trers are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erfuk influenee upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is ho cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WaLken’s VINEGAR Biirers, as they will speedily remove the dark- colcred viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs.

In these, as in all other coustitutional Dis- esses, WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERS have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate aud intractabie cases. For Inflammatory and Chrenie Rheumatism, Gout, Bilions, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidueys and Bladder, these Ditters have no Sai. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases, —Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard agaiust this, take a dose of WALK&KR’s VIN- EGAR BITTERS occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Sult-Kheum, Blotches, Spets, Pimples, Pnstules, Boils, Carbuucles, Ring-worns, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Iteb, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humore aud Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in # short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermiluges, no an- thelininitics will free the system trom worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement 1s soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. H. McDONALD & CO., Droggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California, and cor. of Washington and Chariton Sts., N. Y¥.

The great mystery cao only be fathomed in the act We sit by the side of a friend or relative in his last extremity ; we watch the shadow as it steals over his face, ebutting out all of earth ; we suffer with him in a corresponding degree the agony ef separation, bat we can never know what is passing at the awful moment in his mind. “Of what does he think ?” There are moments when the anguished faces bending over them woald give much to solve that problem. They know that dea‘h is creeping nearer and aearer. They hear him in the restless tick of the elcck, in the sobs of the children, in the desper- ate agony of the watching mother. They know that yet a litthe while, and the moving shaduws on the pane, the twitter ot birds, the dying sunlight, and the weird sigh of the wiuds, will cease to be for the sick mau; that a few more hard-drawn breathe will bring him face to face with unfathomable knowledge.

Poisoned Milk, Much of the sickness and mortality among infants may be attributed to ime use of milk taken from cows while the animals are saftering from nervous pros- tration or excitement wae foreibly illus. trated recently in two cases cited by an emminent physician. He says that a ons tleman bought a young cow that he get pure milk for his child, but that the excitement and bratality. having been fed on the milk was seized with braiu fever and never entirely recov- ered. Iu the other case milk was eupplied to fuar families by a brutal, drunken dairyman, and those who used the moat milk suffered during the entire season from a low tone of physical and meutal health, “due, without doubt, to the chang- ed and poisonous condition of the milk from excitement.” Dr. Hale, in discus. sing the cases, expressed the opinion that it would be better to feed a child on the ufk from a dairy of many cows than on the milk of one cow. It haa been pretty clearly demonatrated that milk poisoniug may result from impurities in the water which the cows habitually drink, and this fact, together with the probable pois- oning resulting from physical ill-treat- ment of the animal, gives cows a terrible revenge for neglect aud abuse. But un- fortunately vengence in such cases falls upon the innocent and guilty alike. Pisistratus, the General, walking through some of the fields, several persons implored bie charity: “If you want beasts to plow your land,” he eaid, ‘I will lead you some; if you want land ,I will lend; if you want seed to sow your laud, I will give you some; bat I will en- courage none in idleuess.”” By this con- duct, in a short time there was not a beg- gar in all his dominions.

CONVENTION. The Hillsboro’ Recorder, in a very able article urging upon the Legiela:ure the absolute necessity for a Constitutional onvention, refers to the popular miscon- ception as to the true idea of what a Con- vention ie a body enpposed to be entirely distinet from, and aboye the pee- ple, independent of them, baving plenary and irresponsible powers ; a body coming into existence by legislative will, let loose to prey upon laws and Constitation with- ont restraint, and to fasten wpou the peo< ple just such a frame of government as chance or eaprice or hasty passion may suggest. The Recorder says that the difficulties which have been thrown around this ex. ercise of popular majesty have had mach. to do with the fear that now attends the call ofa Convention. Obstacles almost amonnting to prohibitions have been the charasterietics of all our Coustitations. The Constitution of 1776 seemed #0 pers fect to our fathers, that there is not the slightest intimation given by which de~ fects in that instrument, sure to be des veloped by time, were to be made. There- fore, when the necessity came, the means to alter the Constitution had nut been provided tor. The Recorder continues : The legislature of 1834 took the initia. tive in relief, and, while disclaiming all right and power themselves to alter the fundamental law, they adopted measures 'o ascertain the will of the people and to carry it into effect. They ordered an election to be held to ascertain the will of the peuple in calling a Convention. This Convention, we all know, met in 1835, and amended the Constitution so much to their satiefaction, that they, too, like the fathers of '76, thought it perfect, and never afterward to be touched. They did go a little farther, it is true—they gave a power of legislative amendment, and a mode by which a Convention of the people might be called by the Legislature ~both methods so trammeled by contin~ gencies, as scarcely ever to be availa ble. The Convention of 1868 cannot be call- ed a Conventiou of the people of North Carolina. It was called into existence by military power. Its work was not the work of the people of North Carolina. It was done by the ex-soldiers of the United States army; by hangers-on of that army when iu a state of war, dropped when peace came or where plunder or political preferment seemed most promis: ing ; by negroes, lately liberated from the chains of slavery, ignorant of the mean- ing of the words th y uttered and blindly unconscious of the trust they held; and lastly, by a few native whitea, whose in- difference to their mother State in the hour of ber peril had rendered them com- petent to the oaths they took. But this Convention, in the Constitu- tion it framed, did not entirely cus off the meaue of relief, should it, too, prove op- pressive. It [eft the methods of amend- ment aud the mode of calling a Uonven- tion as they found it in the Constitution of 1835. They reaffirmed it totidem vere Thus we have seen what constitutes a convention of the people; we have seen the impediments thrown in the way of calling one fur light and transient causes ; we have seen the forms given to call one when necessity arises; and we see the | 8overign power of the people interposed to guard themselves against the abuse of trust by their deputier. Now, every Conservative, without ex- ception, admits the need of Couetitutional reform.

This animosity against foreigners is deep seated and genuine in China as a similar feeling is in California againet the Chinese, and probably springs from the same cause, as the introduetion of American steamers on the Chinese ’” rivers has taken away the business ef thousands of male and female owners e€,, small boats. The conduct of many Amert- cans and Europeans who land in Chins fe well calculated to increase the feeling, and the English war especially gave torce te it.

Mr. Stephens had an immense audience and spoke with clearness aud vigor, exhibiting no signs of weariness. —————- ao Tue Evecrions in THE West.—The results of the elections in the West cannat but be gratifying to the conservative sense of the country in all sections. But let us uot be go highly elated by the pleas- ing prospect thus unfolded, as to forget that such cheering signs of a general change for the better do not always prove ia the end to have been as full of prewise as they seemed to be. [tis well evough to take new confidence and courage from these victories over the Radicals, and to consider them, as they deserve to be con- sidered, unmistakable indications of the failing fortunes of the party in power; but let us not look apon them either as deci- sive of a turn of the political crisis in our favor, or even as covclusive that all the exciting issues between the assailants aud defenders of the Constitrtion have been ao far satisfactorily passed upon. —Rich. mond Whig. oo The carpet-baggers and scalawags who met at Chattanooga, having served up their dish of slanders, have adjourned, after voting themselves en permanence. On assembling, they pronounced them- selves “the most important convention that ever sat in this country.” The re- ault of the Ohio elections is an apt and sharp comment on this pretension.

We are now on the eve of an eventful epceh in the life of oar government, says the Richmond Whig. If Radicalism is succesafnl again in the Presideutial elec- tion in ’76, it is impossible that there can be enough liberty left to afford further hope for the Republic. If a great Na- tional Conservative party can be formed in time for an active, thorough and com- prebensive canvass of the issnes involved, the people may be aroused, the popular mind may be canvinced of the threaten- ing danger, and the country may be saved. ————->-____—_——_ Each successive lie, says the New Yrok World, that is given to the newspapers by the Government at Washington aboat the “Southern outrages” is invariably headed by the iuformation that it bas “been received by the Attorney-General from a trustwortby source.”’ It is not just as well tbat it should be understood at once: that the Attorney-General himself ia such an untrustworthy “source” as to vitiate everything that passes through hia office, no matter whence it may have come ? ——_—___ +e Way JEWEsSES ARE BEAUTIFUL.— Chateaubraind gives a fanciful but an agrecable reason for the fact that Jewish women are so much handsomer than the men of their nation. He says Jewesses have eacaped the carse which alighted upon their fathers, husbands, and sons. Not a Jewese waa to be seen among the crowd of priests and rabble who insulted the Son of God, scourged him, crowned him with thorns, aud subjected him to infamy and the agony of the cross. Tbe women of Judea believed in the Saviour, and assisted and soothed him under afflic- tion. A woman of Bethany poured on his head precious ointment, which she kept in a vaee of alabaster.

But every since the principle of revolation, as embodied in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, was arrayed against “the principle of prostration, as represented by mineral salivants and furious purgatives, the latter has steadily and surety fallen into deserved contempt. The outery against stimulation by which concoctors of depleting drenches hoped to give eclat to their disgusting and dangerous compounds has only served to increase the demand for the wholesome stimulant, tonicand alerative which tor twenty-five years trinphed over all oppori- fion and is now the most popular medicine in the Western hemisphere. a EE EEE IEE EME DEL ELT OLE EET A REPRESENTATIVE AND CHAMPION OF AMERICAN ART TASTE! Prospectus for 1875—Eighth Year THE ALDINE THEART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, Issued Monthly. “A Magn.ficant Conce. tion Wonderfully carried out.’ The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of our great artista, has always been recognized, and many attemps have been made to meet the want. ‘Lhe 25 | successive failures which soinvairably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, diu not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. 1) | So svub as & proper appreciation of the want 75 | and anability to meet il Were shown, the public 1 00) close of the year.

The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. True art ix cosmo- politan, While 7H ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cnitivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productions of the most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with SHE ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersior. of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artixt too closely to a single atyle of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receivea bean tiful portrait, in oil colors, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue attracted 80 much attention. “Wran's Unsclfish Friend” will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is executed so true to the life, that it seems the veritable resence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. De Vitt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it! Al- though so natural, po one who sees this premium chromo will haye the slightest fear of being bitten, Besides the chromo, every advance subscriber to THE ALDINE for 1875 is constituted a member, and entitled toall the privileges of THH ALDINE ART UNION, The Union owns the originals of all THE ALDINE pictures, which, with other paintings and engravings, are to be distributed among the members. To every series of 5,000 subscri- bers, 100 different pieces, valued at over $2,500 are distributed as soon as the series is full, and the awards of each series as made, are to be pub- lished in the next succeeding issue of THE AL- DINE.

LinpLey, returned mis~ sionary from South Africa, delivered a most interesting lecture in the Presbyte- rian Church, Monday evening last, toa large and most attentive audience. He went to Africa in 1834, and now, after a life spent in Jabors for the redemption of the heathen of that benighte: land, returns to tell us in what condition he found them and in what condition he left them. Truly his story is a wonderful one, and well cal- culated to encourage and rejoice the hearta of all those who have aided in the work of foreign missions. It shows us that it ia possible to lift up men from the lowest depths of ignorauce, superstition and filtb, and wake them to newness of life. 2 eee MYSTERY OF THE Lakes.—Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy feet deep; but Lake Ontario, which is 592 feet deep, is 230 feet below the tide level of ocean, or as low a8 most parts of the Gulf of Si Lawrence ; and the botiom of Lake Huron, Michigan and Superior, although the surface is much higher, are all from. their vast depth, on a level with the bottom of Outario. the River Detroit after allowing for the probable portion rarried off by evapora- tion, does not appear by digg Means equal to the quantity of water which the three upper akes receive, it has been conjec- tured that a subterranean river may rua from Laka Superior, by the Hurou, to | Lake Ontario. This conjecture is uot fact that solmon and herring are caught the hekevs comimanicating with the St Lawrence, bus no other. Asthe Falls ot Niagara must have always existed it would puzzle the uaturalist to say how , in all some sych aubterranean river; moreover, any periodical obsiruction of the river of the mysterious flux and reflux of the akes. ___—__ ~~ IWWoths in the Candle. Every moth learns for itself that the jeandle burns. Every night, while the candle lasts, the slanghter goes on, aud | logy : : i : Phe light is beautiful, and warm, and ats tractive ; aud unscared by the dead, the foolish creatures ruxh into the flames, and drop, hopelessly singed, their little lives despoiled. It has been supposed that men have reaeon, and a moral sense. It has been supposed that they observe, draw conclu sions, and learu by experience. Jndeed, they have been in the habit of looking down upon the animal world as a group of inferior beings, aud as subjects of com- miseration on account of its defencelegs- ness, yet there is a large class of men, reproduced by every passing generation, that do exactly what the moths do, aud die exactly as the moths die. They learn nothing by observation or expericuce.— ‘They draw no conclusions save those which are fatal to themselves. Aroand a certain class of brilliant temptations they gather, nigbt after night, and with singed wings or lifeless bodies, they strew the ground around them. No instructions, no expostalations, uo observations of ruin, no sense of duty, no remonstrances of conscience have any effect upon them. If they were moths in fact they could not be sillier or more obtuse. They are, indeed, so far under the domination of their animal natures that they act like animale, and eacrifice themselves iu flames that the world’s experience has shown to be fatal. A single passion, which need not be named,—farther than to say that, when hallowed by Jove and a legitimate gift of life to life, it is pure as any passion of the soul,—is one of the candles aroand which the buman moths lie in myriads of dis gusting deaths. If avything has been proved by the observation and experieuce of the world it is that licentiougness, and all illict gratitication of the passion in- volved in it, are killing sins against a mnn’s own nature,—that by it the wings aie not only singed, but Lody aud szoul are degraded and spoiled. Qdut of all il- licit indulgence come weakuess, a prrver- ted moral nature, degradation of charac- ter, grove beastliness, benumbed seusibili- ties, a diagusting life, and a disgraceful death. Betore its baleful fire the sanctity of womanhood fades away, the roma .ce of lite dies, and the beauuful world looses all ite charm. The lives wrecked upon the rock of sensuality are strewn in every direction, Again and again, with endlesa repetition, young men yield to the song of the siren that beguiles them to their death. ‘hey learn nothing, they see nothing, they kuow nothing but their wild desire, and on they go to destruction and the devil. Every young man who reads this arti- cle has two lives befure him. He may throw himeelf away on a_ few illegitimate delights, which cover his brow with shame in the presence of his mother, and become an old man before liis time, with all the wine drained oat of his life ; or he may grow up into a pure, strong mauhbood, held in healthy relation to all the joys that pertain to that high estate. He may ‘be a beast in hia heart, or he may have a wife whom he worships, children whom ee Jous, ;] man's powere and immunities, or a sham say ings buiit, se¥ertheless suits us just) the officers. have. al? forth to make the Fair a puceces. {its influence, of industry extinguished, and Now, as the discharge throngh | improbabie, and accounts forthe singular | these fish got into the upper lakes without | would furnish a not improbable solution | | leaves ita wingless and dead around it.— : shall be pleased to serve our friends at the low- fies {3 tnest Pose ne nabas society. He may havea dirty tmagina- tion, or one that .hates aud spurns all impurity as,both disgusting and poiaon- In brief, he may be a man,, ‘with « of a man,—a whiie sepalchre,—conscious that he carries with him his own dead bones, aud all uncleanliness.—It is a matter entirely of choice. He knows what one life is, and where it ends. He knows the essential quality and certain destiny of the other. The man who saya he cannot control hinteelf not only fies, but plac-s bis Maker in blame. He can control himself, and, if he does aot, he is both a fool and a beast. The sense of security and purity and self-respect that comes of continence, enterzained fora single day, is worth more than the illicit pleas Lures of a world for all time. ‘Ihe pure in Heart see God: in everything, and see Him everywhere, and they arc supremely blest. . Wine and strong drink from another candle in which millions of men have singed themselves, and deatroyed both body and soul. Here the signs of danger are more apparent than ia the other form of sensuality, because there is lesa secrecy. The candle burns in open space, where all men can see it. Law sits behind, and sanctions ita burning. It pays a princely revenue to the government. Women flaunt their gauzes in sit. Clergymen sweep their robes through it. Respecta- bility uses it to light its bangucts. In many regions of this country it is a bigh- ly respectable candle. Yet, every year, sixty thousand persons die of intempers ance ; and when we think of the blasted lives that live in want and misery, of wives in despair, of loves bruised aud blotted out, of children disgraced, of alms- houses filled, of crimes committed through ot disease engeudered, and remember that this has been going on for thousands of years, wherever wine bas been known,— what are we to think of men who still press into the fire? Have they any more sense than the moths? It is almost enongh to shake a man’s faith in immortality to learn that he belongs to arace that manifests, xo little seuse, aud such hopeless reck- leasness. There is just one way of safety, and only one, aud a young man who stands at the beginning of his career can choose whether he will walk in it, or in the way of danger. There is a notion abroad among men that wine is good—that when properly used it has help in it that in a certain way itis food. We believe that vo greater or more fatal hallucination ever possessed the world, and that yone so great ever possessed it for so long a line. Wine is a medicine, and men wonld jtake no more of it than any other medi icine, if it were not pleasaut in irs taste, and agreeable in its first ¢ffects. ‘Phe fmen who drink it, drink it because they [like it. The theories as to its beautifalness come afterwards. The world cheats it- peeif, aud tries io cheat itself in thia thing; aud the priests who prate of using this ) world as uot abusing it,” and the chemiste | who claim a sort of nutritious property in alcohol which never adda to tissue (!) and the meo who make a jest of water drink-~ jing, all known perfectly well that wine fand strong diink always have done more ;harm than good in the world, and always will uotil that millennium comes, whose feet are constantly tripped from under it by the drunkards that lie prone in its path. Vhe milleznium with a grog shop at every corn 'r is just as impossible as security rwith a burglar at every window, or ta every room of the house. All men know that driuk is a curse, yet young men eport around it as if there were scmethiug very desirable in it, and sport uunril they are hopelesely singed, aud then join the great, sad army that, with un—- diminished nambers, presses on to certain death. We do not like to become an_ exhorter in these columns but, ifit were necessary, we would plead with young men upon weary koves to touch not the accursed thing. ‘Total abstiuence, now and forev- er, is the only guaranty in existence against a drunkard’s life and death, and there ia no good that can possibly come to a man by drinking. Keep out of the candle.— It will always singe your wings or des atroy you. - Dr. J. G. Holland, in Scrib- ner for October.

Walker’s California Vin- egar Bitters are a purely a preparation, made chiefly from na- tive herbe found on the lower ranges of tke Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked. ‘‘ Wha‘ is the cause of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR Bit- TEKS?” Our answer fs, that they remove the cause of disease and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a slfe- giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of VixeGar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease manis heir to. They are @ gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestivun or Inflammation of the Liver and V sceral Organs ‘2 Bilious Diseases ™: 2 The properties o: iu WALKER’S VixzGar DivTers are A perient, Diaphoretic, Carninative. Natritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative. Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera tive. and Anti-Lilious. Grateful asious.... BGAR BITTERS the most wei I- Vigorant that ever sustained tus siuhig system. . No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and Vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remitfent and Juter- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Oiio, Missouri, Hinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- 6as, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Kio Grande, Pearl, AlabamagMobile. Savannah, Ro- * anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkabiv s0 during sea- sons of unnsual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose eqnal to Dr. J. WALKER's VINEGAR BITrers, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with whieh tho bowels are loaded, at the saine time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Foriify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR Birrers. No epidemic ean take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Mead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise- ment. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellinga, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelied Neck, Goitre, Scrofuluus Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mereurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sere Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis- eases, WaLK&ER'S VINEGAR Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilions, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no «& sal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated blood. Mechanical Diseases. —Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as lumnbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard Bgainst this, take a dose of WaLKER’s VIN- BGR Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncies, Ring-wor.ns, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Iteh, Scarfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name er nature, are literally dug up and earried Out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No nade ta i can Sa ill free the syste like these Bitters. = For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonie Bitters display so decided an influence that unprovement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood wher- ever you its impurities i the skin in Pimples, recente (ane cleanse it when you find it obstructed and eupmen in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell yor when. Keep the blood pure, and the th of the system will follow. R. H. MeDONALD & CO., Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California, and cor. of Washin and Chariton Sts, NX. ¥.

A little boy was asked by his mother what made his nose sored. He answered, (s) naffing, mamma. A little girl was one evening watching an approaching storm, when she saw a bright flash of lightning. “Oh, mamma,’’ she cried, “‘see the dark open!” Pilkios thinking that an exhibition of conjugal affection might increase the qual- ity of hia dinuer, called his wife “my sweetest.” She merely asked him who his others were. There was a young woman oamed Han- nah, who behaved in a frivolous meaner : while her pe stood in prayer, she put tacks in his chair; which he sat on, and cus-sed his Hannah. When a Brooklyn woman feels that re- sistance to tyrants is duty to God, and kiexs her husband through the front door, she borrows the sugar-plum language of the pastor, and calls her action an ‘‘out~- ward mauifestation of true inwardness.” Quin, the actor, being asked by a lady why there were more women in the world than men, replied ; ‘It is in conformity with the other arrangements of natare, we always see more of heaven than of earth.’’ CHLORAL IN Ska-Sickness. - Dr, Ogilvie will say in asevere voyage acroas the Atlantic be gave chloral in eighteen cases of sea-sickuees, and in only one did the drug fai! to produce relief. He gave them 30 grains in sweetened water, direct- ing tbe dose to be repeated if relief does not follow ia twenty minutes. He advises a little light, easly digested food to be taken before sailing, end-the chioral to be taken and the patient to lie down on the first symptoms of the sieknes presenting themselves.

After singing the first stanza, they listen awhile for the ans wer- ing strain from off the water, and hear the well-known voices come borne on the tide, telling that sue loved oues are near home.

Lamar, of cotton claim fame, whose death was recently announced, left by his will $100,000 for the estab. lishment ofan asylum for indigent negroes. This is a substantial evidence in favor of the notion that the real friend of the black mao are to be found among those who were born and raised with him, and not amoug the canting philaathropists who have been misleading him in order to use him for political and revengeful purposes. Mr. Lamar was an original secessionist. Atter the war he was puraued with un- usual severity.

A R£EcIMENT PERISHING FROM THirst —When the Egyptian troops first conquered Nubia, a regiment was destroyed by thirst in crossing the desert. The men, being upon a limited allowance of water, suffered from extreme thirst, and, deceived by the appearance of a mirage that exactly resembled a beautiful lake, they insisted on being taken to its banks by the Arab guide. It was in vain that the guide assured them the lake was uns real, and he refused to lose the precious time by wauderiog from his course. Worde led to blows, and he was killed by the soldiers, whose lives depended on his guidance-—The whole regiment turned from the tack, and rushed toward the welcome waters.— Thirsty and faint over the burning sands they hurried — heavier and heavier their footsteps became—hot- ter and hotter their breath, ae deeper and deeper they push into the desert, further and further from the lost track where the pilot lay in his blood ; and still the mocking spirits of the desert, are the afrites of the mirage, led them on, the lake glistening in the sunshine tempting them to bathe in its coo! waters, elose to their eyes, never at their lips. At length the delusion vanished—the fatal like turned to burning sand!—Raging thirst and horrible despair! the pathless desert and the murdered guide! lost! al! lost! all lost!

Tarsoro, N.C , Oct. 14, 1874. Messrs. Engelhard & Saunders : Dear Sirs:—I thiuk it would be well for the people of North Carolina to have a Coustitution establighed by themeelves, free from the supervision or control of others, both as a matter of sentiorent and fact. But independent of this, our present Constitution is strikingly defective—the Convention that framed it seems to have been far more intent on perpetuating their legislative policy than on establishing in well defined terms the “tundsmental principle ot liberty.” The general ambiguity of the instra- ment; the uncertainty of the terms of office, and the resultant embarragament to the admini-tration of jnstice, if the late opinion ot the Attorney General defining the judicial terms be correct—the estab- lishment of all the courts, thereby re- straining the discretionary power of creating and modifying courts to meet the varying wants and interests of the people —the limitation of jariadictions embarrass- ing the adjastment of rights and increasing the expense and unecrtainty of litigation —the localizing the judges when the reasons had recurred requiring rotation of cireuila—and various other restrictions upon Legislative action entirely beside and in no way dependant upon the great provisions that should constitute the or- ganic law and protect the rights of the citizens from unjust or partial legislation— theee all demand revision or rejection And this, not more to remove the grievances resulting therefrom than to discontinue the blending of ordinary legislation with fundamental principles, and the judicial legislation incident thereto, than which, nothing is more apt to increase the growing disregard of Constitutions and to confuse the people and weaken their reverence for and reliance upon Constitutional ssfeguards. T entertain no fears of revolationary action should a Convention be called. [ am sure it would be truly conservative, that it would not weaken, but better de- fine and strengthen every provision that secures the right of life, liberty, propérty or home, or that limits the power of ex~ cessive taxation, or issues the control of corporations, On the question of suffrage, its action would, I believe, not only elevate the right, bat prove a great restraint upon the commission of crime and fraud upon the revenne ; iu ihat it would deprive of the right all persons convicted after ite adoption, of perjury, larceny or other iufamous crime, and all who tail to contri- bute in some degree to the sup;ort of the government. Withal, L would have our people show that free trom bias of ecctiva, of party or race, they can establish a Constitution. consistent with the broadest justice, pro- tection and guarding the rights of all, limiting the excercise of all powee injurous to the weak, or detrimental to the minority, yet allowing that elasticity and adaptibili- ty of legislation suited to a progessive civilization.

[Extract from a speech of Gen. Cullen A. Battle, at Tuscumbia] During the winter of 1863-64 it was my fortune to be President of one of the courts-martial of the Army of Northern Virginia. One bleak December morning, while the snow covered the ground and the winds howled around our camp, I left my bivouac fire to attend the session of the court. Winding for miles aloug an- certain paths. I at length arrived at the court ground at Round Oak Charch. Day after day it had been our duty to try the gallant soldiers of that army, charged with violations of military law ; but never bad I on any previous cecasion been greeted by such anxious spectators as on that morning awaited the opeuin of the Coart. - Case after case of “The Confederate Sta:ea vs. Edward Cooper” was called—charge, desertion. A low murmur rose spoutaneously from the bat- tle scarred-speciators, as young artillery- mau rose from the prisoners’ beach, and in response to the question. “Guilty, or Not Guilty ?” answered, “Not Guilty.” The Judge Advocate was proceeding to open the prosecution whea the Court, observing that the prisoner was uuatten. ded by couuvel, interposed and enquired of the accused. “Who is your counsel.” He replied. “I have no counsel.” Sup- posing that it was his purpose to repre- sent hituself betore the court, the Judge Advocate was ivstructed to proceed. Every charge and specification against the prisoner was sustaiued. ‘I'he prisoner was then told to introduce his witnesses. He replied, I have no witnesses.” Ase tonished at the calmness with which he seemed to be submitting to what he re- garded as iuevitable fate, I raid to him, ‘Have you no defeuce? Is it possible that you abandoued your comrades and deserted your colores in the presence of the enemy without any reason?” He replied, ‘‘I‘here was a reason, but it will uot avail me before a military court.’’ I said: ‘‘Perbaps you are mistaken ; you are charged wiih the highest crime known to millitary law ifs your duty to make known the causes thatinfluenced you ac- ions. For the first time his manly torm trem- bl.d and his blue eyes ewam intears. Ap. proaching, the President of the court be presented a letter, saying as he did, There, General is what did it.” I opened the letter, and in a moment my eyes fill- ed with tears. It was passed from one to another of the court uatil all had seen it, and those stern warriors who had pass- ed with Stonewall Jackson through a hundred battles wept like little children. Soon as I sufficieutly recovered my self- possession, I read the letter as the defence of the prisoner. It was in these words : My Dear Edward—I have always been | proad of you, and since your connection with Confederate army I have been proud- er of you than ever before. I wouid not have you do anything wrong for the wrold: but before God, Edward, unless , you come home we mast die! Last night | I was aroused by a litile Eddie's crying | and called and said. ‘‘What’s the matter. | Eddic ?” and he said, “Ob, mamma, I’m so hungry 1” And Lucy, Edward, your : darling Lucy ; she never complains, but she is growing thinner aud thinoer every | day. And betore God, Edward unless you come home we must die, Your Mary. Turning to the prisoner, I asked. “What did you do when you received this letter? He replied ; ‘I made appli- cation tor furlough and it was rejected ; again I made application and it was re jected; a third time I made application and it was rejected, and that night as I wandered backward and forward in the camp, think- ing of ny home, with the mild eyes of Lucy looking up to me, and the burning words of Mary sinking in my brain, I was no longer the Confederate soldier, bat I was the father of Lucy and the husband of Mary, and I would have passed those lines if every guu in the battery had fired upon me! I wentto my home. Mary. ran out to meet me, her angel arms em-. braced me; and she whispered, ‘O! Edward, I am so happy! I am so glad you got your furlough! She must have ; felt me shudder, for she turned pale as' death, and catching her breath at every word she said, ‘have you come without your furlough ? O, Edward Edward, go back! go back! Let me and my child, go down together to the grave, but O, for | heaven’s sake, save the honor of our name!’ And here Iam, gentlemen, not brought here by millitary power, but in obedience to the command of Mary, to abide the senteuce of your court.”’ Every officer of that court-martial felt the force of the prisouer’s words. Before them stood, in beatic vison, the eloquent pleader fora huaband’s and a father’s wrongs; but they had been trained by their great leader. Robert E. Lee, to tread the path of duty, though the light- ning’s flash scorched the ground beneath their feet, and each iu turn procennesd the verdict guilty. Fortunately for bu- manity, fortanately for the Confedercy, the proceedings of the court were review- ed by the Commanding General and up- on the record was written : Heapqguarters A. N. Y. The finding of the court is npprured The prisoner is pardoned, and will report to his company. R. E. Lee, General. During the second battle of Cold Har- bor, when shot and shell were failing “like torrent from the mountain cloud,”’ my attention was directed to the fact that one of our batteries was being silenced by the concentrated fire of the enemy. When I reached the battery every gun but one had been dismantled, and by it stood a solitary Coufederate soldier, with the blood streaming from his side. As he recoguized me, he elevated his voice above t roar of battle und seid, “Hens | NO. eral, I have one shell left; tell me haves I saved the honor of Mary and Lacy ?” I raised my hat. Once more a Confed- erate shell went crashing through the ranksjof the enemy, and the hero sank by his gun to rise no more. Heaven knows, my countrymen, I lov- ed that lost case, but this, in which we are now engaged, is no less sacred. We will do our whole daty in this campaign, and, if need be, in the moment of death, fire the last shot in our battery for the honor of Mary and Lucy. ——~>o... From ‘the Wilmington Journal. VIEWS OF LEADING NORTH Cano. LINIANS ON THE CONVENTION Again we have the pleasure of layin before our readers the views of distingsiole &| ed North Carolinians upon the Conven- tion Question —gentlemen whose opinions will carry weight with them, not only in the Cape Fear section, but in the whole State. We trust that our cotemporaries who oppose the call of a Convention will give their readers the benefit of what these distinguished gentlemen of the Cape Fear have to say oa the subject. LETTER. Witmineton, N.C., Oct. 22, 1874. Messrs. Engelhard & Saunders: GENTLEMEN—he undersigned having received lettets from you asking their views apoo the Convention now under discussion, have couferred together, and concarring in their opinions submit the following joint reply : You ask us, in brief, to respond to the followiag enquiries : “1st. Do you think the best interests of the people of North Carolina require their Constitation, the “Canby Constita- tion” so-called, to be materially aad speedily amended ? 2d. If, ia your opinion, material changes in the Constitution ought to be speedily made, which mode of making those chan- ges, do you think the best intereste of the people of Nor.b Carolina demand should be adopted, that by Legisla- tive enactment or that by Conven- tion 1 3d. The Conservative-Demoeratic party having an undoubted two-thirds vote ia each House of the General Assembly, what do you think is the duty of that party in reference to the calling of a Con- veution by the Legislature at its approach- ing session for the purpose of amending the Constitatinn ?” In reply to the firet queation, we beg leave to say, that we are decidedly of o- pinion that the Constitation of the State needs to be changed in very many and very material respects, and that too right speedily. Indeed, the daily experience of six years, in our Legislative Halls, in the Courts of Justice and in every wa!k in life shows that it is an iueuperable obstacle to good government. This “Canby” Constitution was liter- ally conceived in sin and born in iniquity and it muet ever be a symbol of wrong and oppression. We could submit to the outrage, however, perpetrated upon us in ite “adoption,” so-called, if it was vot the frui.ful source of so many evils that time would almost fail us to refer to them in detail. ‘This however is not necessary, for they are well known of all meu.— Suffice it to say then, that io almost every one ot the many instances where the “Canby” Constitution varies from the old Constitution of our fathers, the difference hae been productive of unmixed evil. In our opinion the sooner we return to that old Constitution the better it will be for the people of North Carolina, observing of course the changes rendered necessary by the war and its results. And we deem it proper to say here, ia order to prevent any possible misunderstanding, that we believe no one contemplates, as no oue ought to contemplate, any chauge in re- gard to the Homestead Exemption save such as willenlarge and render more se- cure that wise and beneficent prevision. We deem it proper to say also that we be- lieve no one contemplates, as no one ought to contemplate, any change in the Con- stitution tending to impair the rights of the colored people. In reply to your second interogatory we beg leave to say that we are decidedly of opinion that the mode of amending the Constitution by means of a Convention called by'a vote of two-thirds of each House of the Legislature is vasily prefer- able to that by Legislative enactment, being the cheaper aud more speedy, if not the only practicable mode of accomplish~ ing the desired changes. The Conatitu- ‘ tion ia so full of miachief ia so mMa.y pare ticulars, in what it says and in what it does not say, that it will be nearly if not quite impossible to make it couform to our wishes and to our wants without rewriting the whole instrumeat, and this it will be mauitestly impracticable to do unless it be done io Convention. The mode of amendment by legislative ewactment is adequate only when one or two specific amendments are desired, but is unsuited to the condition in which we find ourselves for the reason that every one of the many changes, even the minutest and most tri- vial alteration, would have to be the sub- ject matter of a separate bill before two successive Legislatures, if we would avoid the doubt now hanging over the amend- meats recently supposed to have been adopted. And this being so, we would be obliged to content ourselves with only a very few of the changes 80 necessary to be made or the Legislatare would be com- pelled to enter upon an endless and inter- minable field of legislation. Bat there is another objection to the mode of an amendment by legislative en. actment that is insuperable, to-wit; the uacertainty that the Conservative party will have a three-fitths vote in each House ef the General Assembly in 1876. Unless that party shall have such a vote in each House in the Legisleture ta 1876, it. will nig 53.—-WHOLE NO. 87: be utterly powerless to amend the tution, When, in the history of the State, bas any party held one Legislature by a two-thirds vote, and its successor by a: three-fifths vote? It is surely neither . wise nor prudent to exchange the certain present for the uncertain future, It is our deliberate opinion then, that if the t Conservative party would ‘ Constitution it must do it now ep mer. . er. + aaa, ie Pape In addition to this, the cost of making-+ the changes would be greatly less Convention than by the legislative The Convention consisting of only. die« House and that not larger than the lowse+ braneb of the General Assembly, ‘ wauld:: necessarily consume much lese ti in remodeling the Cunstitation gad woeld de it at much less cost. The Coeevention would do its work, wet! and thoro at a cost of less than $30,000 as will ap- pear from a siwple calculation. B leg~ ishtive enactment not half the r por half so well done would cost mote them, twice that amount at least. And-thgreje another serious objection to on legislative suastaest ciseine out of the” rules of parliamentary law that govern alt’ legislative bodies. As has been said, andy for the reason already assigned, every alteration iu the Constitution no matter bow trivial, must be the subject of a. separate bill before two successive Legis - latures. Tey can not be all pat in que bill, so that the effect of each alteration, “ individually, and of all the alterations col- lectively, can be seen ata glance. Itiga well known rule of parliameotary law that , there can be bat one bill under considera~ tion by the House at atime. There may be as many as a buodred bills opon: the calendar, each containing a separate alter-’ atiou, but each bill must be considered and perfected by iteelf and withoat regard | to the other ninety-nine. This being eo, does not every one familiar with legiala- tive proceedings aod parliamentary law, see alt a glance how fruitless will be the attempt to render consiatent and harme~ nious a Constitution that requires to be changed in so many particulars as does oure? The hundredth bifl or an amends ment to the bundredth bill mey possibly- render the other ninety-nine herereiee possible, or at best inharmonious and, in- | consistent. ‘To perfect the constitation and to render all its parts, harmonious and consistent with each other and: with” the whole, the body attempting the task must have all its parte ender its entire enn- trol until the very last momeot. This is absolutely essential, and this by legisla- tive enactment is absolutely impossible. By Convention only is it ible. .. By the Convention mode ecarcely six moathe will be needed for the amended. constitution to be pat into operation. By the Legislative mode four years mast elapse before a Legislature can meet ia regular session under the amended Coa- stitution to give releif to the people. ‘ We are of opinion. therefore, that the mode of amending the Constitation by Convention is the only one that will mest. the demands of oar e. In reply to your third interogatery we beg leave to say that we think it is the . plain duty of the Conservative te require its members in the Le, te take prompt action in calling a Convem- tion. Material changes in the Constitatioa ought to be made and to be made spyedily. The Convention offera the echea surest and speediest way to make thése changes. Believing then, as we do, that it ise sacred duty the conservative party owes to itself and the people to offer them the speediest, cheapest, and most practicable mode of getting relief from the many ‘end grievous burdens growing out of the Oon- stitution, we ean concieve of ne saficient - reason why that party should not. pequigg . its members ia the Locialotens te take steps at the earliest possible moment, te call a Convention. No mere suggedtions” of “expediency” ean justify us in falling | to perform oar plein duty. Mor ean.anp: party long live in the affections 7S i eople that dares not do right. the Danser vailve party, having the power te afford relief w the people, should refnes ‘ to do eu thie winter, we shall look forward - with dread to the conseqaeuces of the | elections in 1876, for we know not what answer our party will be able to make when arraigned at the bar of public opin= ' ion for being afraid or unwilling to exereise the power entrusted to it. We are eonfie: dent the people will not sabmit in silence to such a course. We mast not forget that the Conservative party will be held to a strict acountabillity for the powet die” people bave pat in ite hands by electip two-thirds of eazh House of the Geel Assembly from its ranks. We apprebeod the most serious consequences from a fail- ure to call aConvencion, but we apprebend none whatever if the Legislature eball do ite duty aod promptly call one. If the Demoeratie~Conservative party is to be pledged to a policy of timidity— © if it is to win glorious triam on hard fought fields oaly for the of a ter bonfires and illuminations —if it is to be always afraid of grasping the legitimese and necessary fruits of victory for fear of offending eomebod y—we may rest aseured that it will lose far more of strength ont prestige by chilling and disheartening warmest supporters then it can possibly gain by coneiliating ite enemice, whé ate the enemies of good goverument.

It is a matter io which the people have great interest, and we feel that we can not just at this time furnish thom with reading of more vital juterest. A large number of the ablest and best meu in the State have spoken out boldly and earnestly on the subject, and their telliug argaments should not be lightly passed over, It is in the power of the Legislature to say whether we shall have a Convention to relieve us of the present oppressive Constitation. The peeple can du mach in determining the action of that body by calling priamary meetings, and giving expression to their withes. Let us have a meeting in this county. a Staywrs on Caecks.—The law re- quires every cheek on a bank to be stamp- ed. Many of oar citizens have habitually, either from ignorance of the Jaw of inat- teation to its requirements, neglected this.

The recent trial of Robert Barnett in the county of Pearson, of which mention ig made in our local columns, ia one which ought to go far to eprrect the wicked mis- representation with which the people of the South have been assailed in the trans- actions with the colored race. Here was a man, most fespectably aud influentially connected, arraigned fur a horrible crime upon a negro girl, and put on his trial upou the awful issue of Jife and death, with family influence powerless to shield him, the distinetion of race unable to exx onerate‘him. In the stern presence of the law ot the land, all these distiugijons faded away, and the golored victim of brutality was accorded the same vindica~ tion of her rights that under the laws of the State hed befure been given to the whites. And it is, and so it has always been when North Carolinians have been free to admitiiater their owa laws.

This being: the case the vast importance of a medicine which compela these organs to do their whole duty, thoroughly and efficiently, becomes at once apparent. Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bictera maybe truly characterized aa preparation of this kind, indeed as the only one which can be implicitly relied on as com- bining the properties of a stomachic, an alter ative and an aperient in such proportions a» to roduce simultaneously the desired effect upon the disordered stomach, liver and intestines This conelusion ix warrented by the celerity aad certainty. with which the Bitters afford relief in chronic cases of dyspepsia, torpidity of the diver and constipation. The false idea that these complaints and others that grow out of them, could be cured by fierce catharties, has at last, it is hoped, been thoroughly exploded. The sick, during the last hundred years have swallowed thousands of tongof mercury, scam- mony, gamboge, croton oil, jalap, &c., and tens of thousands of graves have beer prematurely filled thereby. But every since the principle of revolation, as embodied in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, was arrayed against “the principle of and forious purgatives, the latter has steadily and surely fallen into deserved contempt. The outcry against stimulation by which concoctors of depleting drenches hoped to give eclat to their disgusting and dangerous componnds has only served to increase the demand for the wholesome stimulant, tonicand alerative which tor twenty-five years triuphed over all opposi- fion and is now the most popular medicine in the Western hemisphere. ————— A REPRESENTATIVE AND CHAMPION OF AMERICAN ART TASTE!

Perkiue), whoee husband is now in prieon in Paris, is utterly destitate, with three children, begging for work and endevor- ing to borrow the pittance of twenty dol. lars, and that ber aunt, the ex<Queen of Spain, lives only a few doors off, but refuses to help ber. Thie is the same Iufanta Maria Isabella de Guronski de Bourbon who only a few years ago was married with mach pomp and circumstance to Mr. Perkias, the United States Consul at Lisbon. The royal-republican pair went to Paris, and for about three years lived on the expectancy of the bride's aunt, the ex- Queen, and the assurances of the groom that a large fortune in America was coming to him. Matters went from bad to worse until Mr. Perkins owed a board bill of something like eight thousand dollars, and hia landlady had him arrest- ed. The court adjudged the ex~Consul a swindler, and sentenced him to one years imprisonment, and the Princess was eft deativate with her three children. ——__~.- Comrorts ANO LUXURIES OF THE Farm. —There is a class of farmers wt o are living only to grasp more acres’ Their farms can never be large enough, nor can their work- ineo ur themselves ever du quite enough work. They canuot be satistied with the inceme of a farm, nor could they with that of apy other business. But those who uuder- stand that the highest object of labor is uot to make money, but to provide the largest amount of ineans of improvement and ionv- cent eujoyment that the world affords, can make the pursuits of agriculture furnish more luxuries that really contribute to our well-being than avy other employment re- quiring an equal amount of capital. Their tarms are nut so large as tu make slaves of themselves and their suns. and their wives aud their daughters are not worn out witb incessant drugery: Theirdoor- yards blussow with flowers, their tables are supplied with many varieties of well-grown, delicious fruit. their houses are made aheaifil by the influ- ence of books and music. and a taste for the pure and innocent evjoyinents of life is de- veluped iu their chiluren. Here and there a farmer’s home exemplifies all the content. meut aod happiness possible to a race dooin ed to labor aud disappuintmeat.—Practical Farmer. OFFICIAL VOTE. Weerencr Sup’t P. In.

WALKER’s ViNEGAR Birrers, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with whieh the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its tluids with VINEGAR BITTERS. No epidemic ean take bold of a systein thus fure-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Tead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad ‘Taste inthe Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the Heart, Inflammiation of the Lungs, Pain in the regign of the Kid neys, and a hundred oth painful symp- toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy iadvertise- ment. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelied Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflanmations, Indolent Inflammatious, Mereurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sere Eye, ete. In these, as in all other cunstitutional Dis- eases, Walker's VineGaa Birrers have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate aud intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of tho Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Litters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. —Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-sctters, Gold-Leaters, and Miners, as they advauce in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER’s VIN- £EGaR BITTERS occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-RKheuin, Blotches, Spets, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-wor.ns, Scald-head, Sore Eyex, Erysipelas, Iteh, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up aud earried out of the system in a short time by the ase of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no Vermifuges, no an- thelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonie Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soun perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Dimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins: cleanse it when it is foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. H. MeDONALD & CO., Droggists and Gen. Agts.. San Franciseo, Cali ead cor. of Washington and (‘Lariton Sts. N. Y.

FLORAL HALL. This hall is beautifully arranged, each side is covered with all kinds of beautiful things. Running through the centre is some beautiful stands of flowers, one case of shoes, from Oxer- man, Holmes & Co., one large case ‘from Meroney & Bro’s Store, it con- ‘tains a most beautiful assortment of ‘vaces, toilet sets, ‘china-ware, shoes, '&e. Bell & Bro. have some exquisite Jewelry and plated-ware in the same ‘ease. In thecentre, on the right hand from the front entrance hangs a beau- tiful moss picture, on either :‘de and directly under it are some grass pic- tures of beautiful desigu and execution. As you pass down from these, you will sce some fancy wood work, splendidly ‘done. Then next; shell work, in the shape of frames, then some frames, imitation of Rustie work, wrought ‘in leather, which are simply exquisite. A cross of wax flowers is standing | near, the work ef some fair hand, which certainly deserves much credit. Then comes a natural curiosity, a pine ‘burr, it isa cluster, and has between 75 and 100 seperate and distinct burrs ‘on it, the only thing of the kind we have ever seen. Next are some speci- ‘mens of bead work, which is very pretty. Next, in the corner is some specimens of Job printing from ' Edwards, Broughton, & Co., at Ral- -eizh, which are fine. On the wall at the end hangs some oil paintings that are exquisitely beautiful ; on the other side are some home knit gloves, and one pair of socks by a young lady, who raised the cotton, picked the seed out, carded, ' i prettier, and better than any you will find in the Stores. Then you see an assortment of Ribbons, shawls, &c., from Meroney’s store. Then a show case of Perfumes, Extracts, Toylets sets fur perfumes &c., fiom C. R. Barker & Co’s Drug Store. To the left and just above, is some pencil drawings, very comical, and forms amusement for all the visitors. A little farther on we sce an afghan most beau- -tifwlly worked. Just under this, is some handkerchief cases, the prettiest | we ever saw. Then we see a picture ‘in embroidery, and by its side isa pic- ture on velvet, just above these are some very pretty tidys, and at the end ‘on the lett we see some hearth rugs. The whole of the sealing is covered with quilts of superior workmanship. Jelieys’ Preserves, Jams, Pickles, Brandy Peaches, Wines t&c., are" lus- | cious, (at least they look so, don’t know how they taste.) We will simply state that we have not mentioned more than one fourth of the beauties of this hall, we can only say; it is beautiful, grand, and nearly all the work of our kind ladies. —Fair week Daily.

Yesterday was a grand day forthe mense, variously estimated at four to six thousand. A gayer scene than the their bright and varigated head dress- es fluttering in the breeze, and their brighter, sweeter. faces, beaming with rational enjoyment, is rarely seen. But we have not space to indulge in a lengthy remark on this subject : About 11 o’clock, Mr. James T. Morehead, of Guilfcrd appeared on the stand to supply the place of Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, who was “booked” to make an address to the Grangers and the public on this occasion. A large number of the members of the order entered the Grounds in proces- sion, confidently expecting to hear Mr. A., who is well known to be one of the ablest orators of the Order in the South. The live stock exhibited is not so large and varied as last year. But what is lost in number and variety may be made up in quality. There are quite a number of very excellent horses, mules and jacks; several lots of fine sheep, bulls, cows, calves, and hogs. Mr. Wm. Howard will proba- bly take the premium on sows and pigs; and Dr. Kimbrough of Davie, the premium on Stallions. The other stock was so nearly balance in quality, that our unpracticed eye could make no decision. The show of Agricultural imple- ments is also smaller than last year. The advent of Col. Underhill, of Baltimore, with a number of imple- ments, such as seed drills, horse hay rakes, straw cutters, cider and wine mills and presses, &c., &c., was fortu- nate for the appearance of the grounds appropriate to this class of Goods. | Messrs.

It appears that these parties were taking a walk yesterday about 7 o'clock.

Never was a document go well prepared for the oppression of the people, so well adapted to the wants of those who seek the indulgence of lincentiaysyess, as the present Constitation of North Curolina ; yet we are told by thaae who olaim to be frieads of the people that it would be impolitie to call a Convention to change ft. Jt is eminently a rng Constitution, framed to meet the wants of the rings and go enable office holders to tyrannize over the people, aud as far as we have been able to see, the main opposition to a ¢bange and to the calling of a Convention originates with the mere politicians, the rings and their representatives.

Reverdy Johnson, who is charged with being always ready to deliver ap opiwion to euit the man that pays the Jargest fee, and who is counsel for the Bond holders in their efforts to force North Carolina to pay a fraudulent debt, bas recently written a Jetterto a member clect to the next Legisla sare, in which he has the effrontery to suggest what portion of the fraud the people shoald pay. ~ What assurance ! The people of North Carolina will not | mit dictation on this subject from the Bond-holders or their agents, and the Legislature that will permit it will be re- pudjated, It ie not necessary therefore tor Mr. Johuson to bother himself about the matter. A few members of the Leg- jplasure may imagine that they ean fix up the debs trouble ; but they will flud them- selves most egregiously mistaken yuless they are mach wiser than their predec- pesors. The fact ja the Legislature is as helpless to make a fiual or satisfactory gettiemeut of the State debt as would be a body of so many uew born babes. They may gas, debate, appoint Com. missione, and authorige compromises, but At with amount w nothing. If their work should happen to please the people they~(the peopl.) may, possibly, approve js if Tep alone by demarogues ; otherwise, they will asgyred!y reject not only the Legislatare, but its action, and authorize ita paccesaor to ando gud readjust; and thie undoing ard readjasting will go on from year to year without resylts until a close observer of matters and thiogs in 'this State tor the list ten years. If he bad eaid-that the failure to call a Con- vention will insure the defeat of the Oon- ‘sorvative party in 1876, he would have bit the nail on the head, for juat as sure- ly ag the eun rises ia the east this will be the effect that the failure to call a Qon- vention will produced. How the Judge can arrive at any other coiclusion, after carefully reviewing the history of the party in this State, is astonizhing to os. The Conservative party has secared a majority in the Legislature and grown to atwo thirds majority an the strength of promises merely ; for jt bas accomplished nothing, or next ta nothing, and gan ef.- fect nothing for the good of the State or people eo long aa the present Conatitation is permitted to stand in the way of such legislation as is most ueeded.. Until the Constitution is changed, remodeled, re- written, and made to couform to the wants of the people, the Legislature is a useless expence~-a body tbat consumes from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars of the people’s money at each session with- out being able to accomplish any good. It bas thus become a burden and a nuisance. Although the majority has been Cougervative, the people are ina more helpless condition to-day than they were fuur years ago. ‘The public debt, so-called, as been largely increased in- stead of diminished, the taxea are equally barthensome, the common school system is a sham, the Rail Roads of the State are wholly under the control of rings, and the people are threatened with a new crusade upon their Homesteads. ‘I'his is not the result of Qonservative rule, yet the ex- istence of theze things to day shows that the Conseryatiye party must cease to fol- low in the old rut; that it must adopt a that it must no longer to thrive ou new policy ; expect promises ; but it must become a party of deeds and of fruits. The folly and stupidity of “letting well enough alone” have bLven snffiiciently demonstrated in the last four years to satiefy all but the rings that our condi. tion must grow worse while such policy is maintained. Conservative legislatures can do us no good so Jong as the Consti- tution remains as it is. The last Legislatures did all that was in power to better the condition of the peo two their ple, but the constitution stood iu the way aod prevented them from doing what was most needed. Aud the people believing the Legislature responsible for the failure of the party to effect something and to make good its promises, had determined to repudiate it, and would have done so last summer, but for the Civil Rights issue which cane in the nick of time to save it from a complete Waterloo defeat.

Black, of Penneyl- vania, bas written a letter to the New York Herald critivieing both Reverdy Johngon and” ‘barles O'Conor’s ‘epters ow the subject of President Grant's action iu the Louisiana ease, iu which he holds that the President committed a grave violation of Lis constitutional duty, both iu the firet instance in eustajuing Durell in favor of the installation of the pretens der Kellog, and in reinstating Kellogg after his expulson by the rightful govern- ment of the State ander McEnery. He says i “The gtate is that which stands. Its movernment is ‘the powers that be.’ Its officers are those who actually exer- cise its authority. It is, therefore, the call of the de fucto government that the President must repond to. This principle pervades all law, municipal and interna- tional, and its observance is absolutely necessary to the preservation of our do~ mestic tranquility, as well as the peace of the world. Ifthe President aesists a taction hostile to the existing government, with the iutention to drive the incam- bent magistrates from the seat of power, he excites domestic violence and makes insurrection, instead of suppressing it, “The facts of the Louisiana case, as [ think they are universally understood since the publication of Mr. Carpenter's report, these: —A man uamed Kellogg aspired to be Governor, bat wholly tailed of the election.

It is mere folly to say that Kellogg was Gov- ernor an ivstant after that. The forcible reinstatement of him was an insurrection against the proper authority of the State as much as his first installment. “It Tam right thu far it follws that General Grant oo both ocrasions commit- ted a grave violation of his constitutional duty, in a matter vitally affecting the rights of the State and the liberties of the people. Of his conduct there can certain: ly be no decent pretense of justification, and, eo far aa.I can perceive, no reasona- ble excuse, unless he can say that his legal advisers jmpgsed upon him by a false reading of the-constitution.”’ THE testimony in the trial of WHITELY, WituiaMS and HARRINGTON for the burg- lary committed upon the safe of the latter, in Washington City, is bringing out some remarkable revelations.

In the | first place a successful resistacce was im- | possible while the aeurper was surrounded | and guarded by the bayonets of the Ied- eral army ; aud second, they looked for- ward to the eleetiou as a peacefal remedy for their wrongs. But thia Jast hope left them when they saw that Kellogg was arranging the machinery of the registra- tion to cheat them by a false count of the votes and thus keep them iu subjection for an indefinite time. “Couvinced that they must rise by their own unassisted strength or be for- ever fallen, they resorted to the ultima) ratio, threw off the shackles and placed the supreme executive power in the hands of the man who had been legally elected nearly two years before. Never was revolution more just or conducted with such prudence. Its suecess was complete ; the baseless fabric of tyranny feli at the firstrush of the popular movement, its chief abeconed, his familiars sluuk away from his ruined fortunes, and all over the State the official instruments of corrnp- yielded their placea to the appoiatees of the lawful government. Louisiana was free and every friend of liberty and jas. tice in or out of the State rejoiced over the fact. But the President was deter- mined to put the voke back again on the people of the State. ‘To that end he sought out Kellogg in hia hiding place ; | again expelled the true Governor and again forced the submission of the people tothe same adventurer whom he bad aided before. . “The unconstitutional character of the President’s first act, when he overthrew the then existing government and - pot Kellogg in the exeeutive chair by wore torce, is admiited both by Mr, Johnson and Mr. O’Gonor. It would- have been wonderful, indeed, if either of them had attempted to justify so plain and palpable a violation of the fundamental law. But they differ apparently about the Presi- dent’s duty at the time of -his seeond intervention. I eoneur with Mr. Johnsa: in the opinion that after Kellogg was in the President could not turn him out; he waz de tacto Governor, and no matter whether he became so by frand, or force, or accident,-the fact of possession was all that the President could lawfully see. “Of course, I dissent from Mr. O'Cono~ with all the cautious deference due to his great name; bat if be means to say that General Grant had a right to pull down the de facto goverument of Kellogg when- ever he repeuted his own act in sctting it up, | ventureto put ia a denial. Re- member, the president has no right to turn anybody out, nor even to inquire how any actual incumbent got in. ‘I'o overthrow one de facto governmeut because he had wrenefally overthrown another, would, instead of atoning for the first error, only double the blunder. He cannot play fast and loose with the liberties of a State, nor, like Pharoah let the people go free or hold them in bondage according as the Lord hardens his heart or terrifies him with plagues. “But I respectfully submit that this point on whieh Mr. Joneese and Mr. O’- Conor divide is not in the case.

Escape of Prisoners.—Three pri- soners, all colored, escaped from the jail last Sanday evening. None of them had been tried and were there on the charge of lar- | couy.

The Jailor, Mr. Rendleman, _ bappened to enter the upper passage of * _ Mor: the jaibjagt'.as the prisoners made their escape from the cells, and after a consid- erable’ tussel with them, succeeded in securing all but three, who made their way out down the flight of steps while Mr. Rendleman was engaged with the ovher more important prisoners. It is a matter of wonder that more did not eacape, since there were six or eight out in the passage when Mr. Reudteman went u but Mr. R, ; with great presence of min add courage certainly did well in securing av many as he did. : We believe that no blame can be attach- ed to the eberiff or the jailer for the es- eape of the prisoners; bat ia mainly attributable to the insecurity of the jail. were almost exclusively the handiwork | ago that many of the popalar patent n0s-} i. jiterary a dumestic staple in the swapmy and iL Grand Cash Gif 100.000 | Send stamp.

The Granitte Cotton Factory on Haw river, Messrs Holt & Moore proprietors, was represented by several articles of splendid fabrics; but the products of this |factory are well known throaghout the |cuuntry, and so popular are they that orders are almost always a head of pro. duction. The Deep River Manufacturing Co., Franklinsville, N. O., was also well repre- sented, not oaly by its splendid articles of sheeting, cotton yarn, sewing threads and knitting cotton, but by Mr. D.

[Seientific American.] A medical correspoadent of ao Eng- lish journal, says that the advantages of aeparagus are vot sufficiently appreciated by those who suffer with rheumatiom aud gout. Slight cases of rheumatiem are cared in a few days by feeding on this delicions esculeut; and more chronic cases are much relieved, especially if the patient avoids all acids, whether in food or be- verage. The Jerusalem artichoke has a similar effect in relieving 1beamatism.

The successive failures which soinyairably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. Sv soon as a proper appreciation of the want and anability to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and commer- cial triumph—TITE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issned with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of pitas periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature ; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it. is bound up at the close ofthe year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of asimilar class, THE ALDINE is unique and original conception—alone and un- approached—absolutely without competition in price or character, The possessor of a complete volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost; and then, there is the chromo, besides. The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense, ‘True art is cosmo- politan, While 7/JE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it dues not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its niission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus Phe befure the patrons of THE ALDIN. , as a leading characteristic, the productiops of the most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with THE ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by ma inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artist too closely to a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is light and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work. PRUNIOM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receive a beau tiful portrait, in oil colors, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue attracted so much attention. ‘“WEan’s Unselfish Friend” will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is executed so true to the life, that it seems the veritable presence of the animalitself. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the fivest in Brooklyn) barks at it! Al- though so natural, no one who sees this premium chromo will haye the slightest tear of being bitten, Besides the chromo, every advance subscriber to THE ALDINE tor 1075 is constituted a member, and enutled toall the privileges of THES ALDINE ART UNION, The Union owns the originals of all TWEE ALDINE pictures, which, with other paintings and engravings, are to be distributed among the members. To every series of 5,000 subseri- bers, 100 different pieces, valued at over $2,500 are distributed as soon as the series is full, and the awards of each serjes as made, are to be pub- lished in the next succeeding issueof TIE AL- DINE. This feature only applies to. subseri- bers who pay for one year in advance. Full particulars in circular scut on application en- closing a stamp, TERMS.

Dear WarcuMan :—As you were not represented at the State Fair I will, at this | late hour. give yoo a few notes about it and also touch some points about our. little city. _ The weather during the Fair was very fine— | helping to bring vut a multitude of visitors The exhibition was considered respectable. The order was very good. Everybody seem- ed in good humor. The whole affair was a pecuniary success to those most interested. course, as at near'y all fairs sincé the an- j cient days of Hay Market, there were ob- ;jeetable features. A contemptible gambling institution beset the thoronghfair between the Grand Stand and Flaral Hall. whereat inany au unsophisticated visitor was victimized by the cunting gamester. These boys lost all their money aud had to plod home through the dust for the want of ten cents to buy a Ticket. The usnal preeminenee was given to races. The so-called: Agricul- tural Fairs are educating a generation of tufinen. Already we see that the race-course furnishes the Asssociated Press regularly with telegrams that rank with the news of legislatures, of battles and of religious cou vertious. The fairs are making horse-rae- ing fashionable and respectable. Another feature of the Fair suggestive of anpléasant houghts was the propertion of entries frou persons or places outside of the State, or of articles pot mmaunfactared in the “tate. It helps to make mouey for the Association aud gives rhe shrewd contributor a fine opporta- bity for advertising. but it must be doubted whether it tends to develop the products of our own skill aud labor. Atany rate it shows our own people: are not advancing as they ought. The great trouble with North Carolina now is that the balauce of trade seems to be against jher. Sh- appears to be seuding more money thau she is bring ng in and is failing to train her citizens to a safe and prosperous system of enterprise and trade. What does it: avail if oar veople do work hands aud heroically. when the proceeds of their labor go to en- rich other sections 7) What we world’ aks of our fairs. we wonld also of oar legislators and b g of om people iu general, Only think of the drain upon us. from the Neti Life aud fire iusnrance companies our iiihous inte their distant coffers. A systematic raid of cirsuses scours town and eouutry and carries away the hard earn- ings of our deluded poor. A’ perpetual stream of third-rate® theatricals pours along our public line and sweeps away the moneyaud the morals of nearly all classes, Our cotton planters are fast sinking into mere unthrifty tenauts of exacting uo tieru speculators. Our inerchants crowd one another in ruinous competition and impoverish their own sec- tion while they enrich the wholesalesman or inanufacturers. Our few suceessful men bury their money in fiue stores instead of factories. Our people would rather diess finely and be poor than seusible and be iudepeudent. Fashion taxes us not only up to but beyond what we can afford to Our fathers and husbauds are straiu- ed to the ntuost aud dying permaturely that they way beable to keep peace with the deinands of extravagauce in a thonsand ar- tifvial wants. Thousauds of able-bodied men are shuuning the departments of profi- table labor--imechanical, ayrieultural aud inanefacturing—aud crowdivg into busiuess banbproofs and swelling the ranks of un- profitable pensioners upou true industry. young meu ean see no iuterest or proinise in the graud old farm or the education of the imtnortal iniud. but eagerly rush to. the side of the counter to waste their sacred youth in a complete servitude to another’s business for a merely nominal salary And thug, do We not consume more thau we produce and bay more than we sell?)

W.J. Yates, Esq., of the Democrat, offers to be one of twenty to raise, $50,000 to enable the farmers of Mecklenburg to bold their cotton till prices improve. The money is to be lent the farmers at 6 per cent. interest. This is what phe people need :—a low rate of interest, shat they can borrow money when io great need at reasonable rates. The gentlemen who have money and are willing to let the people have it on such accom- modating terms are capable of doing the people more good than all the Grange speakers and banks in the country. The ‘present banking system is one of the greatest curses of the age. It is impossi- ble for any one to get accommodations except at a ruinous rate of interest, and giving note and mortgage on property doable ia value to the amount he receives. ‘The ecrountry is suffering for the old hard- . «aoney banking system and a low rate of interest.

ORANGE FOR A CONVEN- TION. Last week the people of Orange held a meeting to give utterance to their, views in fayor of a Convention. John W. Norwood was ealled to the chair, and Johu D. Cameron, of the Hille- boro Recorder, appointed Secretary. Mr.-Norwood in taking the chair, ex- plained the parpove of meeting and gave his reasons for desiring a convention. Mr. Norwood was followed by Gov. Graham, who made a speech that must have convinced every man who heard it of the importance and necessity cf calling a covention.—Sentinel. We are glad to know that Gov. Gra- bam {s in favor of a Convention. His great name and influenee are worth a thousand lesser lights. Graham is a trae North Carolinian, scholar and statesman, of great purity of character, dignity and undoubted ability. The fact that be ia for » Convention will be sufficient to remove al! doubt from the minds of thous- ands of people as to the propriety of the measure. Such weak arguments as Judge Fowle’s and the other timid news- paper writers’ who bave spoken in oppo- aition will no longer be thought of. The fact is not an argument has been adduce by those who oppose a Convention, that is worthy to be put in print. The whole burden of opposition is inexpediency. The stupidity of the eo called arguments in opposition is really langhable, If they did not betray such timidity, such an ignor- ance of the wa..ts of the people, and such an incapacity to take advantage of the means placed iu our hands by the recent triumphs for the advaneement of the public weal. ———___+<>o___—_—_- GOVERNOR VANCE ON FARMING. Governor Vance made a speech last week before the Agricultural and Fair Association of Charlotte. He said many good things and made many good p< nts. His manner of telling what he knew about farming was quite amusing. He touched off the Fairs, the races, the gam- eaters and the farmers. He had no doubt that the Fairs as they are now conducted, and especially the horse racing and gam- bling features, would make ‘punkins grow ;” but he did not believe that the preseut system of raising cotton to buy corn and meat would make farmers rich. He thought every farmer should be sure to raise enongh corn and meat to supply his own demand, and as much cotton and other things as he could to sell. He very clearly showed that the Southern farmer would get as much for two bales of cotton as he does now for three, if he would only adopt a more jus dicioue system iu the conduct of the farm. The reduction in the production of cotton will of course enhance its value; bat the plan of devoting the entire farm to the cultivation of cotton works many evils: It demands all the time of the farmer in the cultivation and gathering, the soil is greatly impoverished by it, and after the staple is ready for market, it will acarcely bring money enough to pay the farmer's vlacksmith or grocery bills and buy bread and meat enough to last till another erop is made ; and while the land ia thus im- poverished, year after year, there is noth. ing placed upon it to counteract the dam- aging effects of the drain to which it has been subjected: Consequeutly, the far- mer is growing poorer and poorer every year. In order to prosper, he must raise stock, make manure, und gradually im- prove his land each year instead of ecrap- ing the aoil off in cottou and placing the surpjue thus gathered in the banks. It is poor economy to rob the soil to get money to hord. The man who neplects to keep up his lands by keeping stock and making manures, though he sell a surplus off his farm of five bundred or more each year, hia land is reduced, in valne and damaged just to that amount. It is simply robbing Peter to pay Puul. The Jand wast be kept up by a judicious system of manurivg, of rotating erops, &c. In order to do this effectually, the farmers should give more attention to stock raising, they should cultivate the grasses, clover, &c. &c., and save hay and feed it on the farm. The Governor urged the importance of an improved system of education: Far- mers should be educated. This had been two much neglected. Boys should be educated and prepared for the farm just as they are for the other professions. The above is not intended as a sketch of the Governor's speech ; only the repe- tition of a few ideas. The Grangers ought to have a big meeting here.ang ges 4 5M —oe [GR While at Charlotte last week we a ourselfof she opportunity offered to-ascertain the views of several promin~ ent gentlemen on ‘the Couvention quee- prised to find that not a single one of all those with whom we spoke on the subject is oppused to the measare. They sll ex- pressed themselves in favor of decided changes being made in the Constitation, aud thought a Cunvention the beat and cheapest way to effect them. They were somewhat divided, however, as to the policy or expediency of calling the Copveution at this time. Some thonght we had better wait a while; others feared defeat; while others again were confident that now, above all others, is the time to secure it. Gentlemen who mingle exten- sively with the people declared that fail- ure to call a Convention by the next Legislature would result most disastrous~ ly to the party. They felt satisfied that the people generally were in favor of the, megasure. CHARLOTTE AND THE FAIR. We visited Charlotte last Friday, it being the 4th day of the New Fair of the Carolinas. We had not been there for nearly three years, and were glad to see that Charlotte had made considerable pro gress in the way ofimprovements. Several new buildiugs had gone ap and others were in process of erection. ‘The new buildings, scattered here and there among old ones, both wood and brick of every variety of etyle and architecture, give the frontings a very ragged and abrupt appearance. Still there is anmistakable evidence of growth and business prosperity. There are several wholesale houses, the largest of which ic probably Messrs. Witt- kowsky & Rintel’s. his firm is doing quite a large busiuess for Charlotte, and their wholesale and retail stores are quite handsome and well filled, and will com. pare favorbly with stores in much larger cities than Charlotte. The Fair, we were told, was a success, financially, though the articles and stock on exhibition were quite limited. There were many pretty things in Floral Hall, a fair display of machinery aud agricultu- ral implements, some fine potatoes, bects, pumpkine, &c. &c., but it was evident that the farmers of Mecklenbnrg, as of Rowan, took very little interest in thier Fair. The grounds are situated on a beautiful level plat uf grouud about a mile south of the city. The buildings are commodious and well arranged, the track is the best in the state, and altogether, the Association ia well fixed to hold a Fair. But Charlotte, and we fear other places likewise, has damaged her future prospects by the admission to the Fair grounds a hord of gamblera, eut-throats, and thieves. We were told that last year these were admitted in Jarge numbers, and that their devices for swindling the unsuspecting weré quite numerous ; but thie year the scene surpassed any ever before seen in North Carolina. nearly every game aud every trick known to the gambler’s art was there shamelessly exposed to the pub. lic view. Let the people of North Caro- lina determine hereafter to have Fairs without having gamblers to prey upon the unsuspecting, or have no fairs at all. a ee GROWING B_TTER. The glorious news of victory, as the reault of the elections of the 3rd of this wooth, has been growing better day by day. Even the firat reports which gave uz but a glimmer of triumph, were suffi cient, in view of the tardiuess of the Rad. ical manipulators to let the truth come, to inepire us with hope that a great vic- tory had been won; yet we were unable to realize, even at a later day, that one of such gigantic proportions and com- pleteness had been achieved. As the news came in fom the North, East, West and South more fully were we amazed and more completely rejoiced at the glad tidings of Democratic succes- ses, So signal and complete a triumph has never before been witnessed in this coun try. Although not entirely unexpected, itis immensely more glorious than the most sanguine had anticipated. It is, too, a success without extraordinary effort. It was a spontaneous uprising of the people against oppreasion, military rule, royal pretentivns, extravagance, dishon- esty, corrupt government, and venal and unprincipled office-holders ; and the peo~ ple have done their work well; all credit is due to them. It is now evident that they have not become corrupted by u corrupt, venal administration, but that they are yet true to the great principles of constitutional liberty and free govern- ment. . Here is a summary of what has been achieved : ALABAMA has elected Houston a Democrat govern-~ or by 10,000 majority, carried both bran- ches of the Legislature, and sent 6 out of 8 members to Congress. .

There are multitudes who are sailing so near shore that « slight wind ia the wrong direction fonnders them. They get on well while ihe times are asual and the wages prompt- ly paid ; but a pauic or a short period of sickness causes them to drop belpless.— Many a father has ridden in a fine carriage till he came to his grave; then he is laid down, and his children have got out of the carriage, and not only been compelled to walk, but to go barefoot. Against parsimony and niggardliness we proclaim war; bat with the same sentence we con- demn those who make a “grand eplash’’ ahile they live, leaving their families in déstitution when they die. ~ LOST OR MISSLAID.

Wheu the young man bad concluded the superintendent, who, for many yeara, has been employed by the firm with whom he is at present engaged, anid to the as- tovished youth, ‘i am your father.” They discussed family matters at length, ‘and the father hearing from his) gon that his mother had uever ceased to mourn their nufortunate difference and absence, deterunned to proceed al ouce to Europe and bring her to this country and endea- vor in the future years to atone for the wistakes and errors of the past.

The subject of ritual engrossed much of the time of the late session of the Pro- testant Episcopal General Conveation, in New York. [be House of Deputies by a large vote finally passed resolutions em bodying a canon taking tolerably high antiritual ground. This was objectionable to the Bishopa and a conference was agreed to. An amended conon, which was reported last Saturday, waa approved by both houses, ‘The canou as finally adopted does not forbid the use of incense and cracifires during the celebration of tbe boly euchariat.

Both parties admit that ic is woefully defective. and that the great relief demanded cannot be attained by legislation nutil it is done. Then have we t!e power, that is, the Con- stitunional majority to make the call? If 80, that is settled. Now the returns show that the Conservatives have two-third ma- jority iv both Houses.

Because acting on the inaxiu that “thrice armed is he who has his quarrel just.” looking to the future with the ken of statesmen, representing the true sentiments of the people, and uot as the mouth-piece of auy particular individual, you have struck maufully for the sight, and to-day the reaction that has taken place in favor of a Convention, shows how your efforts have been appreciated.

Every body seema bappy over the late election. Many Ratical papers declare that it was no more than the party de- served. The Chicago Tribune comforts itselt thus : “Itig not atall unlikely that the next Congress will have a majority of we.nbers of varions abades of politics opposed to the administration, Such a result, in- stead of being injurious, will be beneficial to the Republican party. It wili knock the third term higver than a kite. It will purity the party in many directions in a way that victory could never purify it. It will take the power out of the hands of such leaders as Butler, and put it in better hands. It will drive a whole con- gregation of bats and buzzards back to the dark placee where they belong. It will clear the ship for action in 1876 as no other process could.” We agree with the Tribune in all but the “‘parification” of the party. It is too ‘fate; mortifivation has set in, ard a firet e'are funerol and burying is better thon} an atiempt at pu ification —Uhe p-ope . | j}ineant a funeral when they voted, and | they will have it-—Maesachnsetts calls tur at, as dvea New York.

MeFee. ‘This charge is utterly false, and what was the motive of ous informant in at- tempting to prejudice the public rained -vaingt we | know not, unleas it be to poison public sentiment against me to tv such an extant that [may be convicted in the Bederal Cour at Statesville upon the groundless charge of passing coun- terfel, currenca.

As to the char- acter of this tellow, I bave only to say at he late term of the Federal Court held at Siaresville, wo men were plased on their trail for passing counterfeit money and tie only issue presented was whether Auchisi was to be believed or not. He had testified to every fact necessary to establish the guilt of the defendent and with a jury of more than ordinary intel ligence and moral worth they by their verdict, said that Anchisi eould uot be believed. Hie object has been to poison the public miud aguinst me and other gentlemen, who have been indicted upon his testimony and other witnesses of as tittle character as himeelf. At tbe first term wheu | was indicted, I insisted upon a trial, ‘hie was denied me, and this too when the witness McFee was present in court, and when so far as 1 kuow all the government witnesses were present. of the charge that term of court J again. demanded a trial, | drop the pen aud play the woman, shed- regarded Mc. eo os al Joly 16, 1674.—t#. aod insisted that I should not be held ander heavy bounds for my appearauee, when a a at all timés been ready, able aud willing to. meet any charges which the active in uot’ of this Italian de- tective, who hes as little knowledge of Justice, as he has of American institutions, bat this was again refused. And to make my condition as wtolerable a: my enemies could some of them got you to cirealate through your paper the fonl and iniamoue libel that I had mu:dered McFee. The Grand Jury of Rowan county have just closed a seesion and I am iuformed that a muse thorough examination, not the shadow of a shade of suspicion was thrown upon me or any of the other pers ms jointly indicted: with me.—This fellow Anchisi and subservient tools more anxious to injure me than to ferret out the real murderer of McFee, seem to desiguedly follow a false sceat. Why not get after the man last seen with McFee, who under a false vame was travelliug with him, aud who was heard to say that McFee bad when he left bis house from one handred to three hundred dollars, and afie: wards said when he left, he had not a eeut, and when the body was found it had no mouey, but only the knife of a‘tellow: traveller ?

The recent political revolution is so colossal and astounding that people can- not fully comprebend its magnitude till they withdraw their gaze from the whole and look at it in some of its more signifi- cant particulars. ln 1872 the States of Massachusetts, New Yok, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, which extend in an unbroken line “from the Arlantie coast to the Missiesippi river, and ‘every one of which GRANT carried, gave him ap aggregate majority of 397,000. ‘This fall these sevew Stares have all gone againet Grand by au aggregate ma- jority of 133,000. , The bistory of polities in all the free states of he world does not farnish a parallel for so great a:eh nge ae this. | elected two years ago, GRANT secured a majority of one hundred aud two. The elections of this shows. that in the next Hoase there will be an anti-Granr ma- jority of aeventy-five at the least.

This, therefore, is a period of the year when the in- habitants of such districts should prepare their systems to meet the unwholesome condition of the atmosphere, by a course of tonic and alter- native treatment. Foremost among the inveg- orants, recommended by time and experience, as a means of fortyfying the system against all endemic and epidemic maladies, stands Hostet- ters Stomach Bitters. Whoever have traveled in the West or South knows full well the esteem in which this incomparable preventive and re- storative ii held throughout ‘hore regions. It is literary a domestic staple in the swapmy and mephitic localities which lie on the borders o many of our large rivers and in the neighbor- hood of our southern bayous and lagoons. Now <a the time when the inhabitants of all malarious districts should pnt their systems and constitutions in good defensive trim by a course of this powerful vegetable antidote. By this means the feeblest resident of on unhealthy soil may escape the sickness, which without the aid of this potent ally of nature, will be apt’ to overtake the strongest. Chills and fevers, bilions remittanee, constipation, rheumatism, dyspepsia and many other complaints are fre quently brought on by the caprices of tempera- ture and alternations of dry cold and excessive moisture common in our climate at the com- mencement of spring. Let all who desire to avoid these distressing ailments take the Bit- ters as a safeguard. ~— «GO TO TiAAS LONE STAR ROUTE!

So sv00 a8 & proper appreciation of the want and anability to meet it were shown, thé pubiic at once rallied with epthusjasm to its Buppert, and te result was a great artistic and commer- cial triumph—THE ALDINE. * 4 ' THE ALDINE, white: issked> with all the regularity; has none uf the.temporary: or dimely interest Characteristic of, ordinary , periodicals {t is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature ; und a collection of pictures, the rarest’ specimens of arlistic skill, in black and white. Alihough each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure tu its friends, the real value and beauty of HE ALDINE will be mort appreciated aster Jt is bound up at. the close of the’ year, may claim superior cheapness,as compared with rivais of a.similar class, THE ALDINE is » unique and original conception—alone. and un- approached —absolutely without competition in price or eharacter, ‘he possessor of a complete volume ean not duplicate the quantity: of tine paper and engravings in any other shape ‘or number of volumes for ten times 4ls costs and then, there is the chromo, besides. Yhe national feature of THE ALDINE must betaken in nonarrowsense. True art is cosmo- politan, While THE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to culuvate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the patrous of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the ‘productiops of the most noted American artists, attention Mill al- ways be given to specimens trom joreign: mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources: The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with JHE ALDINE, is an important féature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate lo the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any infeyior page. ‘The judicious interspersion of landscape, warine, figure, and apimal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artist too clugely_ ty a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work PREDMIONI FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1870 will receive a beau tiful portrait, in oil colors, of the same nobie dog whose picture ina former issue attracted so much attention. . “Wlan's Unscelfish Friend” will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is executed 80 trie to the jife, that it) seems the veritable presence of the animalitself. The Rev. ‘IT. De Witt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it] Al- though sonatural, po one who sec this premium chromo will haye the slightest fear of being ‘bitten, Besides the chromo, every advance subseriber to THE ALDINE for 187d is constituted a mMeinber, and cuagded toali wie privileges of THE ALDING ART UNION, The Union owns the originals of all THE ALDINE pictures, which, with other paintings and eugravings, are to be distributed among the members.

Mr. Asbury was an “old soldier of the cross,’’ who had served his God faithfully and well, having Leen a local mivister of the Methodist Charch for about forty two yeare, we believe. His death was ae peaceful and triumphan: as hia life had been devoted aud consistent. His antis cipationa of heavenly rest were sweet and joyful and his soul grew rapturous as he spoke of the “depths of the wisdom and knowledge of God.” A short time before he expired he had himeelf raixed in the bed and bid a most tender and affectionate farewell to hie family ; when he was laid down again be locked hia hands together across his breast, closed his eyes and died without a shud- der. So this good man passed into the “eterval rest,” prepared for God's people. We are forcibly reminded of the fore- shadowing of Peicr s death as related by the Apostle John in his epistle, chapter 2!, verse 18.— Progress. Ancient Women-Bayard Taylor on Egypt.

On the tombstones the wife is al- ways mentioved as the supreme mistress of the bouse, and sons often bore the names of their mothers iusvead of their fathers. There was, indeed, no important right which the women did not share with the men. The great era of Egypt wae long before the time of the Pharoahs spoken of in the Bible.

We suppose the Legislature is by this time ready for business, and as its mem- bers will be likely to desire to deal with the more important matters first, we beg leave to call attention to the great necesi- ty for g dog law. It is very difficult to es- timate the great benefits that would accrue to the people of the State by the passage of a law taxing dogs and making it a misdemeanar fqr any one to keep a dog or allow him to run at large after it is known that he will kill sheep. There 3 no State in the Union better adapted to sheep rajsing than large portions of North Carglina—no branch, of husban- dry likely to prove more profitable than it, yet there is scarcely a sheep to be found in a day’s ride and wool and mutton are not to be had. Why ? simply because there are 80 many worthless sheep-kill- ing curs in the country that it is impossi- ble to keep sheep. Many farmers who firmely raised gheep and foynd ita profjta- ble business, have been compelled to abandon it for the want of proper protec- tion against dogs. Tatelligent farmers tell us that sheep rajsing would be very profitable, if they could be protected from the dogs by suitable legislation. Then why can not this be done? Why should not men pay a tax on a dog as well as on his horee ? If the dog is valyable the horse is ea so, and should bt made a source of revenue. Jf dogs are to be regarded as a luxury, the greater the reason why they should be taxed, But one thing we know, sheep are valuable, necessary for the comfort of man, anda certain source of revenue. Dogs are not so valyable, are uot necessary, but a nuisance ag a general thing, and should be heavily taxed, if tolerated at all; and we hope that our mewhers will press the subject and will use their utmost efforts to have a law paseed for the protection of sheep. ee The opinion in favor of a call of the convention is gaining ground; many of the people of both parties desire a con- yention.— Asheville Expositor. That ia 30. There are more sensible Radicals for it than there are timid office holding and office-seeking Canservatives opposed to it. The opposition, as we before stated, is mainly among the latter class. A few rather small men who were picked up and carried through on the shoulders of tke “old guard” last summer, frightened, lest some change will damage their agpirations, and vainly supgosing that their opinions wonld out weigh those of Graham, George Davia, B. F. Moore, B. 8. Guither, and a host of others, among the purest and best and wisest men jn the State—have exploded their little pop- guns in opposition to a Convention. But instead of helping their case they have damn themselves for all time. The peo- ple will remember them hereafter as un-. worthy to be trusted, fur those who stand in the way of a Conyentionand reform now will be forever repudiated. The people have been struggling under the burdens of the preeent Gongtitgtion for the last five years, encouraged by the promises of the Conservative leaders with a speedy change and with the hope of securing it; but as soon ag these would-be, so called leaders get into office they bave the et- frontery tq tell the people that they must still wait, and struggle on; that it is in- expedient to call a Gonvention now. Such men gre not worthy to be trusted, and the people ghau!d see to jt, hereafter, that othorg are chosen in their stead. Let no man be pat forward for posjtion who is opposed to a Convention which ig ab- solutely necessary to bring the people relief. If Convention fail now, since- we have a two-thirds vote in the Legislature, it will be because of the timidy, the cowar- dice, the shuffling, the incapacity, selfjah- ness and atter worthlesenesa of so-called Conservatives. .

It must be evident toevery reflecting busi- ness nan in Salisbury that something must be done to extend the trade of this place, to increase the business, and inhauce the val- the other towns around as.

Salis- bury may yet recover all that she has lost if her people will put forth the proper efforts to do it. Our position and var surroundings are superior to any other town in this sec- tion of the State. We only need public spirit, enterprise, a few more Rail Road facilities. and the determination to succeed, and our future growth and prosperity as a great inland commercial centre are assured. The first important step in this way is the building of the Yadkia Rai! Road. It can be built if our people determine to have it done. We want it firat to Salisbury and ther on up the Yadkin in the direction of Mount Airy, Yadkin county. Jf the proper steps are taken to secure this Road—if the people go about it in earnest and with a determination to have it, na one need fear failure. The completion of this Road to Salisbary, it is believed, would inorease the value uf property and the trade of the place from fifty to one hggdred percent. Build this Ruad and we shal] he in such a eondi: tion gg to offer inducements that will bring baek all the trade we have loat and as. much more. But we shonld not rest satisfied with get- ting it to Salisbury, let us unite with the people of Davie, and of Yadkin, and the Counties above and see that tt js pxtended up the rich valley of the Yadkin. We ocvu- py naturally a most favorable position. Nearly all the counties North and West of us would naturally comg here ta trade. if we could offer them the same inducements they receive from other points. Not only the citizens of Salisbury, but those af the who'e county and section are equally interested in having increased Rail Road facilitjes to this polot. Let ys make another earnest effort to secure this Ruad, and cease tu listen to the doleful counsels of those who can see no advantage in Faving Rail Roads; fer the counsels of the timid and the doubting have well uigh rained us already. They have kept away Rail Roads that we might have had, and the result is what we see to-day, absolute business stagnation, property re- duced tu nothing, trade distressjpgly linited, and every thing on the down grade. The fact is, this is a fast age, and thuse who would not be run oyer and crushed, must inast go jt at Rail Road speed. They must abandon the ox cart and take the steam en- gine. And the individual is simply a fool who can not%ee it. . ~_- -—____- The Highest Mountain in North Ameri- ca.—Dr. Hall of the United States coast survey has, upon bis retyrn from an ex- pues to oc Arctic regions throngh hriing’s strait, told the San Francisco Academy of Science of the sabliwity of the scenery around Mount St. Elias.

The total number of admissions since the open- ing of the Inetitation on the 22d day of Febraary, 1856, is 1,087; the total pum- ber of discharges for the same time is 840, leaving now under treatment 247. among those put down aa discharged, 275 were eured, 1Q3 improved, 172 unimproved, and 290 died, During the past year the cures upon admissions have been 25 per cent; the cures wpon discharges have been 33 per oeut., and the deaths upon nawber under treatment have been 97 per cent. Accompanying the ceport is a plano for the enlargement of the Institution, and considgrable space is devoted to the diss cussion of that subject. We hope that the Legielature will at an early day make an appropriation safficient to meet the wante in every respect of the Insane of the State.

The Husband Dies of his Injuries. eine One of the most terrible tragedies ever Thursday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, at what is known as McConnaughey’s 8 mus- ter ground. The building in which it was enacted, was ‘designed and used for a coun- try store, years ago; but.of late years has been occupied by Mr. Caleb Setzer and family, as a residence. It is situated with- in ten paces of the Sherrill’s Ford road, which passes the front door. The house is a story and a half, with two lower rooms, one for a store and the other, (about 9x18 feet), for a counting room. Mr. Setzer’s family comprised only two persons—himself and wifec—and the count. ing room of this building-was used by-them asa bed room. The house stands nearly East and West, the front door opening on the South side. To the left as you enter, is @ narrow stairs leading to the upper apart- meiit;,on the right, the petition which divides the two rooms, and against that near the front door, a small table. The door leading into the Store room is opposite the fire-place which is in the West end of the house. In the east corner of this room, stood the bed, with the head against the petition, and the foot reaching down to within 8 feet of the fire-place. In the nar- row corner between the foot of the bed and the West wall, stood a small water table. The fire-place is near 4 feet wide; rocks and bricks are used for firedogs. And fora shovel, an old spade, which is much worn, { not more than 18 inches of it remaining. The occupanés of this room were in bed last Thursday night, when some one knock- ed at the door. Mr. Setzer asked, “who is there?” “Jim Jordan,” was the answer. And in reply to various questions, Jim represent- ed that he was out with a wagon, and that he wanted to get fire to camp. Mr. Setzer knew nothing of the man, but being of a Kind and confiding disposition, got up to open the door, against the remonstrances of his wife, who insisted that all honest waggo- ners had struck camp before that hour of the night. The door was opened, and Jim entered, and Mrs. Setzer's fears, already aroused by ihe negro’s answers, were soon confirmed by his behaviour, and by the questions which he and his companion (who stood out-side), were disposed to ask. sought to keep his face from being _BeEN, | notwithstanding he professed to be well ac- quainted with Mrs, Setzer’s brother, for whom he also inquired. But Jim got. fire and went out, saying he would return soon and get some water, which he did in the course of 10 or 15 minutes. After pretend- ing to drink he sat down before the fire, and commenced a series of questions addressed to Mr. Setzer, who was sitting to his right, near the foot of the bed. His com- panion Frank Johnson, as he called him, was somewhere outside. Jim called on several times but he did not answer. He went to the door and called him, and though he did not answer, Mrs. Setzer heard his footsteps near the door. Jim wanted to know what Mr. Setzer had to trade on. Wanted “spirits;’ wanted to know who about there bad a “shooter,” and finally, drew a revolver and pointing it at the breast of Mr. Setzer, told him he had money and he must give it up. Mr. 8. answered, “I have no money ;” but Jim insisted that he had, and that he must tell the truth about it. Mrs. Setzer here sprang from the bed and caught the negro’s pistol hand, and then commenced the struggle for life One chamber of the weapon was fired about this time, the ball passing between the husband and wife without touching either of them. Mr. Setzer also grasped the fellow by the throat, and thus these three were in the ter- rible strife. They swayed towards the front door, and the little table sitting against the dividing petition was dashed over against the front door which was partly open. The negro cried for help. Mrs, Setzer slammed the door, the struggle still going on. They sway towards the petition door leading into the Store room, and all fell into that room ina heap. Mrs. Setzer could tell but little about this fall. She rose from’ it with the negro’s pistol in her hand, and tried to fire it, but could not. The contestants got back into the bed room, and there she used it in. beating the fellow on the head, and brought him to the floor with it. The pistol broke in pieces, and she seized a stone from the fire-place, (by which her hands were’ badly burned) and struck him several blows with that. She thought he was dead; Mr. Set- zer who was all the while closely engaged with the fellow begged that they should not kill him, but tie him. Believing he was dead, Mrs. Setzer ran up the narrow stairs, having previously locked the door and took out the key, to a window in the East end o the building to alarm the neighbors. The nearest house was a quarter of a mile off. The next nearest, still further. While call- ing, she heard a noise down stairs, and speeding back, found the negro had revived, and was engaging Mr. Setzer again. She arrived in time to seize a piece of pine wood lying on the hearth, with which she felled him while thus struggling. They fell this | was enough to kill him: » -ed on the floor in gore, recorded in this county, occurred last hand laid it in the yard.

After a long time her cries were. answeted, and the news spread through the neighborhood, and the people came in to witness,the scene of horrid confusion and, blood. They found the negro’s body'streteh- garried it out sent for a doctor to dress the still bleeding wounds of Mr. and Mrs. Setzer, The mes- senger came and went on this errand several times before he found a physician, and at last, did not arriye with one ‘until 8 or 9 o’clock next morning. A coroner’s inquest was held on the body of the negro late in the evening of Friday. No one present was able to identify the negro. Mrs. Setzer was the principal wit- ness, and substantially testified to the facts as above given. Tle jury returned 9 vere of justifiable’ homicide. _ On the next: day, Saturday, the Coroner returned to town, bringing the bedy of the negro, for publie exhibition: afd: identifica- tion. It was fdentified by ‘several of our merchants, who knew him as James Jordan; but strange to say, of all the many negroes who saw it, we beHeve none professed to know him. Frank Johnson, or the man me passed by that name, could not be found by the Coroner; but circumstances were remember- ed by Mrs. Setzer and her friends, a few doys after, which directed suspicion against a negro well known in the neighborhood by the name of John Berry. These circum- stances were all related to us yesterday, but it is not proper to repeat them here. John Berry was arrested yesterday and ex- amined before Mr. T. G@. Haughton, and committed to jail for further examination. Mrs. Eliza Jane Setzer, whose misfortune it was to play so tradgic a part in this ter- rible scene, is a person of 33 years, a little above medium size, of good health and strength. She is a native of Wilkes county. Her family (Kennedy by name) resided in Davie county before her marriage to Mr. Setzer, though for several years they have been citizens of Rowan. She sustained severe injuries in this con- flict, of which she was all unconscious until it was nearly over. She has a severe cut diagonally across the left fore arm; a very black eye, and badly burnt hands. The shock to her nervous system was very great, and to this was superadded on Saturday the death of her husband, whom she mourns in pitcous accents. Mr. Caleb Setzer was about 60 years of age; a man below medium size, and for sey- The loss of biood by his injuries from this negro, and the resulted in his death. Saturday night.

OF AMER EE aed ; ———— “A Magoifcent Conce tion Wonderfully carried out.’ BS; 5 eX —_—- § The necessity of a popular medinm for the Sepresentation of the productions of our great artists, has always been recognized, and many attemps have been made jo meet the want, The successive faijures which et ane followed each atiempt in phis cuuntry to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. Be svon gaa proper appreciation of the want and gn ghbility to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the fesult was a great artistic and cummer- giad trium THE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely inferest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It js an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Alihough each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure tu its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after jt is bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE ia » unique and original cunception—alone and un- approached—abevlutely without competition in price or cHaracter, The pomessor of a complete volnme Can not.duplicate the quantity of tine paper and engravings in any other shape or nuinber of volumes for ten times ils cost; and then, there is the chromo, besides. The national feature of THE AL DINE must be taken in bo narrow sense. True art is cosmo- politay, While THE ALDINE is a strictly Amerféan institution, it does not contine itself entirely ta the reproduction of native art. Its misgivn is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, ‘Thus, while placing vefore the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productiops of the Most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens trom foreign mias- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and mstruction obtainable from home ar foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with THE ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are ot a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, fizure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work contines the artist too closely toa single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, wortiy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receivea bean uful portrait, in oif colors, of the sume noble dog whose picture ina former issue attracted so much attention. “WXan's Unselfish Friend" will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves soch a dog, and the portrait is executed xo true lo the life, that it seems the veritable presence of the animalitself. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it! Al- though so natural, no one who sees this premium chromo will haye the slightest fear of being bitten, Besides the chromo, every advance subscriber to THE ALDINE for 1875 is constituted a member, and entitied to all the privileges of THE ALDINE ART UNION, The Union owns the originals of all THE ALDINE pictures, which, with other paintings and engravings, are to be distributed among the members. To every series of 5,000 subseri- bers, 100 different pieces, valued at over $2,500 are distributed as soon as the series is full, and the awards of each series as made, are to be pub- lished in the next succeeding issueof THE AL- DINE. This feature only applies to subseri- bers who pay fur one year in advance, Full particulars in circular sent on application en- closing a stamp. TERMS. One Subscription, entitling to THE ALDINE one year, the Chromo and the Art union, $6,00 per annum, in advance. (No charge for postage.) Specimen Copies of THE ALDINE, 50 Cents.

Hie re« marke on this subject deserve all the prominence that'can be given them. They are as follows : “Addressing the negroes pasticalarly, he told them not to be alarmed at the success of the Democrats. That party desired only the peace and prosperity of their country ; were anxious that all men should have equal rights, and that peo- ple of all colors and vations should live iu harmony together. He wanted every negro in Georgia to have every right and privilege given him by the State Coneti- tution and by the Constitation of the Union. So long as he had a voice in the government of affairs they should have those rights. They were free as any white man in the land. Negro sufferage might have been a mistake. He did not think that ignorant black men were quali- fied to take the offires that were so seldom well filled eyen by white men of ednea- tion, Atthe same time they had the right to vote, and at this late day no one could deprive them of it. No good man desi:ed to do so. The negroes in Georgia should have their rights, but only good, intelligent met should henceforth be elected to office. Speaking to the white men, the Governor told them that by the help of the men of the North they had won a great victory, and that it was now their duty to show to the world that they could bear success as well as defeat. There should be no andoe scoffiing at the fallen party, and, iu the words of their State motto, the people of Georgia should exercise the advantage given by the political victory with ‘Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.’ Ifthey did eo, bar-~ mony would return to the Sonth, and in all sections would be felt the old love for the whole Union.” —_——_~--aoe——_——— A Convention our Judicial System. Every argument used by the opponents of a Convention are based solely upon expediency. The admission is gevetal that the Constitution needs radical chan- ges ; changes whieh are well nigh impos- sible under the tedious legislature metliod. But there is a feeling which reatrains many lest complications with the General Government should arise if a Convention meets, ‘his is almost tantamount tw a confession that a Convention elected by the Democratic Conservative majority in North Carolina would be hostile to the United States. In nothing does the Constitation re-~ quires a thorough change more than in the judicial department of the government.

We feel satisfied that there is no force in the argument that, sugh a law will drive away eapital. and make times worse. ‘Fhe reverse is more likely to be the ease. Those who have eapital will be apt to apply it to other par. poses than to usury, when the pate of in- terest is reduced. They will iovest in real estate, iu manufactories, in something that will pay them. more than six per cent. interest on their money. But v0 long as there ig no restraint, and they eau lend thejr money out at from ten to 30 per cent, interest, as a matter pf gogree they will not buy land pr build factories. It would, in our opinion, bave been better for the people if the old usury law had been let alone, and the rate of iniprést re- mained at six per cent, and uo more, under heavy penalties to lenders. Our experi- | enable us to judge of the merits of the laws which were passed in the interest of the Money Changers, Stockjohbers and Brokers. Jor several ypgars passed these gentry cayld lend money at nearly any vate they chose with impunity. Yet that tidal wave of capital that was to come upon us, never came, except to do us injury. He who got of it, or bo: rowed, mortgaged property to the lender, and for the favor thue bestowed upon him he fonnd out in the end that he had sacrificed his homestead, his horse, bis stock of goods, or some other valuable property ; for how many are able or have been able to re- deem property mortgaged for money bor- rowed at ten, fifteen or twenty per cent. interest? Noone can do it except the specniator, and he oftener fails than suc- ceeds. Ifthe present high rate of inter- est is maintaived, a few capitalists will soon own the entire lgnded estate of the country. It is non sense to talk about prosperity so long as the farms of the country are kept under mortgage, or so Jong aa the farmers, who are the very life of the land, arg gompelled to pay enormons rates of interest on money when they need it, as is often the cage, to make thejr crops. The interest eats up every thing, and je generally all that the bar- rower can pay ont of lis srop, while the main debt still hangs over him, drawing heavy interest, and eating up the profits of his labor day by day. Just so it is with every Pganch of indystry. The men of moderate means, the laboring classes, are great sufferers when money can be had at usarions rates of intergat only. And these are they who should be protec- ted as far as possible. The effect of the present usurious sys- tem bas been to emburrass nearly every man in the State ; to place a mortgage on nearly eight-tenthe of the landed and other property of the people; to curb the enterprising spirit of our young and_pro- gressive citizens; to produce business ssagnation ; to demoralize all claéses, and destroy confidence one in another. Should @ system that has thus proygd go utterly destryctive of all the essentials to pros- perity be tolerated any longer? Not even the money lender, who lives among us, can be benefited by a system that muat eventually paralyse every energy and de- stroy all prosperity of his section. He must souner or later feel the shock. T'he country is suffering for a low rate of in- terest, and we thing the Legislature will effect much good by securing it, —_———_-apr : THE ARGUMEN:S AGAINST A CONVENTION Are absolutely so weak and worthless as to require merely to be named to show their absurdity and utter want of furce. We are told that the call of a Convention would be inexpedient. Why? Quoth the timid, the Rads who becaine disgusted‘ with their party and vote] wjth the Conservatives last August will return like the dog to his vomit and the sow to her wallowing in the lnire, and vote against Convention and there- by ruia the Conservative pariy. Now, is there soy foree in this argument ? We think not. In the first place, Puol re- ceived only about 1700 votes’ more phan Judge Merriwon, and it is reasonable to sup- pose that the vote had inereased more than that number in two years by young men coming of age; aud furthermore, that the Conservative vote lust August was pretty full, since the Civil] Rights issue had a tea- dency to bring oat the strength of the party. This being the case. we are not indebted to Radicals for onr triumph last August. There was quite a small gain on our side, while there was a considerable falliag off from the Radical yote of 1872. This falling off is attribytable to the fact that the more decent Radicals stayed away froin the polls and did not vote at all, and this class is mostly in favor of a Convention; and also to the inability of the Rads to vote negroes 80 often as heretofore, owing to the new suffrage law. So that there is nothing to lose by Radical] opposition. But it js said that the nove is inexpedient for another reason: That the people haye shown that they are opposed to a Convention decauge they voted down the proposition in 187]. Now, the trath is, the largest Con- servative vote polled since the war but one up to that time was given for a Convention . ence since the war has beeu gach as to} be Still, notwith- standing these gnq other opposing ohstacles were thrown in the way. the fruemga of North Caruling, the tax-payers, the citizens of Anglo Saxon blood, rose in theif wight disfadghised as wauy of our ‘byat people | were at that time. What did this gravduap- rising of the people show? Why, it showed shat al] teve North Carolinians wery anzious tw havea Govvention for the parpase of doing away-with the bayopet-imposed- ¥ avkeeCou- stitution, and fur‘ restoring the ofd one made by their uwn favorite sons. ‘Bo anxioos were they to rid theinselves of the Canby Cunstitu- tion and to restore the cold one properly Amewdéd that they were in 4 tieasury héed- less as to the manner of effecting the'object®. They listened with litle respedt to the argu- ments agginat the cunstitutionality of the project, and defied the threats of farther te- construction and the Federal power. — . After this Low abeard is is for any one to-say, that the peuple are uppused to a.Con- vention. . a Bat it is-said that the. failare of a Conven- tion in 1871 was the cause of Merrimon’s. defeat Yn 1872. Never was their @ greater infstake. Merrimon got several thousand more votes than the Convention « year be- fure, and it would have been qnite. strange if hebad not; for the fear of Federel bayo- nets had begun to wear off, and besides good citizens, mavy of whom had resolved after the war never to vote again, had begun to realize the necessity of again taking a part ing out. The true cause of Merrimon’s de- feat was the attempt of the party to swallow Greeley ; otherwise, Merrimon would have been elected by ten or fifteen thousand ma- jority. While this fact is as evident as any thing can be, itis a little remarkable that the saine papers that were so vehement in their advocacy of the Greeley move are now opposed to a Convention. Some of the anti-Convention men, it would seem, have really fallen in love with the miserable Yaukee-devised. bayouet-iuforced Constitution ; for they tell us all we nee is honest, true Conservatives tu administer the Constitution aud the laws, thereby intima- ting that the Coustitutiun is good enough if, only Conservatives can hold office under it. The man must be but one remove from a simpleton who holds such a position or he must think all others fools and cat’t see through such flimsy sophistry. Every office- holder takes a solemn oath to obey the Con- | gtitution and the laws and to use all the, power be has or may possess to enforce them. If they are bad and oppressive the more gen- | sible will the people feel their effeets if they | are rigidly enforced, as they will be if we have honest men jo doit. This pliga is an admission of the bad character of the Consti- tation, andthe plaw suggested té avoid its burdens originates in selfishness or ignor- ance. ° Again, we are told that the move is pre-: mature ; that the people have not been con- sulted as to whether they degiye a Conven- tion; that the subject was not discussed in the last canvass. and that it should be post- through, &c. How the move can be regared as prema- ture, we confess we are uvably to see, If there is auy policy of the Conservative party in thig State more clearly avowed aud more universslly agreed upon than auother. it js that a Convention should be called at the a two-thirds Conservative vote in the Legis- lature is secured. That vote we now have, and we may never have it agaiu. and the{ party is pledged, under obligations to the peo- ple, to call a Convention. It has the neces- sary power in the Legislature to fulfill its promises. The upportunity may have come unexpectedly, still it is bouad to embrace it aud make good its promises. The questivn did not need to be discussed in the last cain- paigo. It was sufficiently well understuod as a part of the settled programme of he party louz siave agreed upon. The people have a'ready spoken on the subject— spoken in tones of thunder at a time when every effort was made to stifle their voice. Their action in 1871 can not be mistaken. As far as it was possible fur them to do they set the seal of their condemnation upon the present Constitutiun. Nearly four years of experience haye more fully tended to demon- strate the wisduin of their action. since the Constitution has been proved tovre bangle- some and oppressive than it was then thought to be. Every day hua shown uew defects, and established its utter unsuitableness to the wants of the people of North Cgrolina. Why then postpone the call of a Convention necessary to effect the desired changes? The answer ig that itis inex pedient. How so? Well, they say, if a Convention is called, the peo- pie will vote against it, and the Rads will beat us ic 1876. The Presidential election takes place in 1876, and we should nut eum- ber ourselves with the Convention move, lest it result in the State's going tor the Radical nominee fur President. Bat wait two yegrs and we will elect a Democratic Presigent and earry the Cunvention also. Now gych talk is the merest twaddle. There is 29 possible way fur the calling ofa Convention to result in injury to the party: If a bill is passed by a two-thirds vote, | authorizing the election of delegates to Convention, gl] the people baye to do is to elect good men, and they will be as likely to do that as tuey were in the last campaign. A large majority will no doubt be Conserva- tives. These delegates will meet and go the| work assigned them, which may be submit- ted to the people for ratification or rejestion: And it matters not which they do, it is bound to have 8 good effect in faror of the Conservative cause. = - If the move is one of such bad policy, why | in 1871, and that, too, when the meuner of | and gave the jargest vote it was possible for Hace tear entranced.” YARTTERUGR Wt? in the affairs of governinenf, and were turo- |' poned for two years when it can be carried |. very first opportunity offered, jnst as soon as | ed to years. .

And yet the people, unawed by these words of warning, beat the Radicals out of their boots—sent them out naked and shiver- ing,—but the threatened monetary disas- ter has not yet happened : just the oppo- site: our credit abroad went up; real estate thronghout the country advanced in price; State bonds in the markets ad- vanced, and those of North Carolina went up abont 7 per cent.

Jn dry windy weather it is very danger- ous for foal chimneys to burn out, and it should be carefully guarded against by burning them out in wet times. It this matter ia not attended to, we have no doubt that the Town authorities will feel compelled to enforce the ordinance in such cases. The Board of State Canvaseers for Virginia, met in Richmond the other day, and for good and satisfactory reasone, gave the certificate of election to Mr. Jobin Goode, as the member elect to Con- gress from Norfolk District. ‘This leaves J.H.

The Town of Tuscumbia, Ala, Almost D&royed, and Many Lives Lost. NASHVILLE, Nov 23.—The following particulars of a disastrous storm at ‘I'uas cumbia, Ala., juet received : A terrible storm here last evening de- stroyed a third of the réeidences, killed twelve persone, and injuring many others. Mrs. Wm. Winston, mother of the late Ex-Governor Winston, the wife and two children of Hon. J. B. Moore, Senator from this District, I’. D. Hodgkin, editor of the Chronicle, his wife and tour children were killed. The Catholie Church, Diehler Female Tustitute, recently finished, many of the finest residences, both of the Flouring Mills, and the most substantial brick dwellings in town were dertroyed, Many families are without homes. A bridge over the M. & C. Road, near town, was also destroyed. The Eastern boand train was precipi. tated into Spring Creek. Fortunately no one was killed. It will be several days before the traius will ran through. eS Ov Late Weataer ANOMALIE2 axp ProGNosTICSOF TH: ComInG WINTER. — The eccentric weather through which _{the country has beeg passing for. some; months constitutes a memorable meteoron logic cycle, of which we have not'scen ihe end. ince the early part of July nearly every section has been visited by thermal extremes and exccasive droughts, which have lingered into the present month aud bid fair to leave their impreas on the ap- poaching winter. That the great conti- nents andergo cyclical changes of climate by no means inappreciable is a matter of historie record too familar to be ignored. Ip modern times, asin 1857 and 1858 these non-periodic vicissitudes have been very sensibly felt. Iu the years just named the rai .leas season was so marked in Central Europe that the Sciue, in Paris, shrunk to a mere shadow of its asual self, and portions of he bed of the Rhine. never before dried. up, were lefi.-uncovered. Stragge to say, simultaneously however, the level of Lake Ontario was two feet higher than iis main level as determined by fourteen years’ observations, In the few years preceeding 1840 the raiufall was so large in Pennsylvania that an American geologist showed that, had the same extended to the lake region, the in- land waters, in the absence of new outlete, would-have risen twenty nine feet above their normal height. The extraordinary dryness of the sum- mer and autumn of 1874 on this continent has had ite compeosa ion apparently in the abnormal rainfall of an opposite con- tinent in the same hemisphere. While the Ohio and Mississippi have been sluggishly coursing their half emptied channels, the Nile has been pouring its torrential roar- ing floods over the imundated -plains of Egypt as it has hardly been known to do from the time immemorial. Early io July last the great African river began to rige rapidly (at the very time our Amezican rivers began to fall) and continued to do 8 dotil it reached, on the 11th of Septem. ber, the almost unprecedented heigiit of twenty-siine feet at Alexandria. It con- tinued at this point till the 7th of October, when an increase of three feet would bave put all the Delta of Ezypst under ‘the rushing, yellow tide.

On the other haud mark the action of the Convention toward the Greek Church. On the first day of the session a resolution was offered inviting the Greck clergy to take seats in the body. Now, be it remembered, that there is but one Greek priest on this continent, and he is in this city. And yet they res cognized the equality of this Church, which is corrupt as the Church of Rome— a Church that worships the Virgin and the saints, that baptizes a little infant, gight days old, by immersion three times, then confirms it, and afterwards admiuis- ters the Lord's Suppor to the little infant The next failure of the General Con Vention was in ber stern refusal to grant Hy relief to the consciences within the bosom of ker fold. There bas existed a body of men who loved the ~—Episcopal Chureb, for her services, her grand old jiturgy ; they believe it to be the Church of the Reformation, and yet in regard to some expressions in the Peayer Book in reference to baptism they sought some relief aud were denied, In the next place the General Conven- tion failed to provide an adequate remedy for Ritualism. ‘Tbe first alarm on this eubject. began in 1856 when a declaration was drawn up and influentially sigued coudeming these practices. Since that time the question bas been agitated until the Jagt Convention found that they should do eomcething, and they prrsed a canon on Ratualism as it is ealled. If they examined that canon it would be found that it aimed at only one thing —the ser- vices at the administration of the Lord’s supper. Everything else was iguored. Aliars may be erected still in every church. Stone altars, (which the Retorm- ers cast ont at the Reformation) with can- dlesticks blazing, may still be introduced in every church. Colored vestments may be worn, surpliced choirs, and bowing tos ward the altar when there are co elements upon it. But they were greatly mistaken it they thought that eucharistic adoration was Ritualism. He then proceeded to say that the root of all these errors lay in the prayer-book of the Protestant Kpisco- pal Church, where the word priest instead of minister was frequently used. ‘There was but one remedy, and that was to take trom the Prayer-Book the sacerdotal principle as represented in the terin priest. Bishop Cummins closed by referring to the encouraging prospects of the Reform- ed Episeopat Church. The igus of pro gress had multiplied in a wouderfal man- ner.

Temperance Legislation. An intelligent and esteemed correspon- dent—a lady—asks the ‘Editor of the LANDMARK” in a very patronizing and feeling manner to ‘impress upon the present Legislature the great importance of some effective legislation in behalf of the temperance cause.” Our yery clever friend can be aseured that the “Editor of the LANDMARK” is a strong. friend to the cause she nobly es: pouses; but that be differs with many of its most zéalous advocates, probably herself among the number, as to the effi- cacy and policy of statutory temperance. We differ, widely, to0, with those who breath noshing but maledictions and threats, aud appeal to coercive measures againgt intemperanee. We regard this fanatieal class of retormers a positive curse to the cause of temperance. Herein is the grand fault of very many temper- ance advocates, especially clergy men. Intémperance is an evil ~a wide epread evil ; ior the ase of stimulants is univer- sal ; it exists among all nations and at all times. It deems to be the result of a patural appetite, which, like all other hu- man appeties, may be abused. Human ingenuity bas never been able to devise any law, regulation, or systew of govern- went by which it ean be prohibited. If there be any difference, the use of iutox~ ieuting liquors ig° more general in Chris- tian countries than elsewhere. ‘The fail- ute of-all attempts to -probibit ite use has led tothe niore practicable measare of limiting i uses by-rigid regulations for iy int estate. of. Massachuretts, of | morality and a religious lite; they make war upou all kinds of sin, and for that purpose they preach aud pray for Divine aid in converting the sinner from his errors to righteonsnees. All men and women are sinners. A much smaller number are drinkers, and comparatively few are drunkards. ‘[hese ministers do not pretend to appeal to the State to com~ pel men to live Ubristian lives; they do uot appeal to the State to compel men to join the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, or any other Church, or to compel them to believe in Christ, or to worship God in any torm. But, like sensible men, de- vote their lives to the persuasion of other men to lead. better lives, to abandon sin, io have faith in Christ, and to join the Church, The success of the Christian ministry is due to the fact thatits appeals are to the reason and intelligence of the people, and are n-t made through the statute- book, or the Grand Jury. How many converts would there be made un- der a law prohibiting sin, infidelity, ra- tionalismyor indifferentism ? How many | real peniteuts would there be, if atteu- dance on camp-meeting or church-services were compulsory 4 Why the evil of intemperance should be distinguished from any other evil in its treatment we never have been able to appreciate. Every Legislature that as- eemblea has its calendar crowded with petitions asking and demanding prohibit- ory legislation, That ro good comes of such legislation is almost a matter of uui- versal remark. Our temperance friends can learn some- thing by studying the history of Father Mathew’s great temperance reformation. We aretold that the greatest progrese ever made in any generation in the way | tween master and servant. really in danger of being butchered jin cold blood are at least looked down upon and maltreated by the whites. It cannot be denied that many of the white planters firmly believe that the blacks are in every rerpect an inferior race, but that they are hardly treated oh that acconnt fe not true. T have been in almost all parts of the State.—in cities and in villages, and on remote plantations—and I firmly believe that the black men and women in Ala~ bamna are generally better fed, and enjov more freedom of action than, any class of farm laborers’ in Germany, or France. That they are more their own masters than people of the same clasa at the North is not to be disputed. It can, withont exaggeration, be eaid that they come and go as they please. Inthe midst of cot~ ton picking I have known hundreds of them to leave their work and go on foot to attend a political meeting, not return~ ing for one and sometimes two days. Would they have dared do this in New York or any of the New England States ? They are not always well clothed, it is true, but the snow never falls here, and ice is a curiosity. As stated above, they are exceedingly well fed. Cornmeal and bacon are given to them in abundance by their employers, and they are not slow in providing themselves with the fish and game which abound, Many persons will be surprised to learn that many of the negro laboreres cherixh the belief tbat they are in reality their own masters, and that they are at liberty to work oi not, as it snits their convenience and inclination. This feeling is, no-doubt, attributed to the peculiar system under which they work, and the novel relation which exists be- As already explained ia a former Yetter, the planrera, of temperance was that made by Father Mathew, who addressed all his preaching | to the consumers, pointing out to thems | the injury they received from the use of | whisky, aud the benefit to them, epiritual: | ly aud temporally, of abstinence. His | preaching closed, perhaps, 30,00 grog: | geries, aud the effects of that preaching | are visible to this day, though he has been ' dead for twenty-five years. Liquor is sold for the resulting profits. Without consumers, there would be no sales. Appeals to the intelligence and reasons of the consumers is the most ef: | fective way to promote temperance.—The | evil of drinking must be pointed out, and’ | likewise the benefits of abstinence, through ‘such powerful mediums as Father Mathew, aud not through incompetent, uneducated © and untrained lecturera, and book agents, and superannuated clergymen. Let our gifted preachers whose burning eloquence ; carries dismay aud consternation to the hearts of sinners and drives them to a !coufession of guilt and a conviction of their sins, preach against this evil. Con- viction must precede conversion. The drinking man will never yield uuti: bis rea- gon ig convinced ; no statutory coercion will ever change bis habits ; woral suasion and argument may. Now, to our clever friend, we say, give us more of the latter, aud less legislation. Af she still thinks differently, with great pleasure we will publish any suggertions she may desire to make to the Legislas ture ; but she will pardon the suggestion —that this matter be not pressed at this time. Until the Christmas festivities are over the Legislature will not be ina frame of wiud to give it the consideration its importance demands.—Landmark. ————34<—21-—_-— Dogs or Sheep. Realizing the stubborn fact that sheep and doge do not prosper together, it be-- comes a duty to decide which is the more: profitable, and lend that encouragement and agsistance necessary to insure the greatest gains from the most reliable source. Wild beasts are no longer dan- | gerous, requiring the keeping of half a: dozen dogs for protection, in any portion | of our State. Dogs are a considerable | tax, without any return whatever, in nine | cases of of every ten. Sheep raising is, universally admitted to be profitable, | when properly attended to, out of dog's ways. Wool brings satisfactory prices. ‘The cost of raising sheep is small, in fact, it is considered in many places a gain, for sheep grazing has much improved old worn out fields, and broaght the land back to a stute of prodactiveness: ‘There. are plenty of plantations in North Caro- lina, now growing up for the want of la- bor, and not even asheep or cow to graze them. Dogs and free negroes are masters soon after reconstruction, fiuding them- seleea anable to pay their laborers, agreed to furnish implements, in return for which they were to receive a share of the crop. This system is carried out in various ways. Insome cases the land-owners give the negro one-fourth of the crop he cultivates, and feeds and clothes him. Another plan is to let the loborer bave one-third of the product of the land, one hundred a..d twenty pounds of bacon and two acres of ground for his own use. In this way it wiil be seen that a field hand ia, to a certain extent, the planter’s part. ner in business, and, consequently, not eutirely under his direction, When they do not work, the negroes say that they themselves are the losers, aud no one has any right to interfere. This independence has resulted in badly cultivated fields, siwall erops and consequent poverty ad Every Southern man will recoguize the fidelity of this picture, It is true, as this intelligent correspondent agserte, after a careful investigation, that the colored people are “better fed. and enjoy more freedom of any class of farm laborers in Germany or France.” It is a misfortune with the negroes that they do not appre- ciate this fact. While slaves. they were forced to labor, and they iuterpret free~ dom to mean case, luxury and idleness. With them, freedom has no blessings un- less they are permitied to have such en- joy ments and pleasures as only the rich can afford. Ia all paris of the world, the luboring masses are compelled tc work, delve aud toil incessantly, to escape nakedness, hunger, deatitution, want and pauperism ‘I'he colored people, sudden- ly emancipated, seem to have no fear of | these ealamitice, and they live in idleness, or fritter away time, which the white laborers of other countries could not spare without beggary any pauperism. If the laborers of the vorthern States, the opera- tives in the Eastern factories were to ex- ercise the liberties which the negroes of the South arrogate, they would find them- selves withont employment and suffering for bread. Freedom dves not mean idle+ ness ; but the privilege of working where it will pay the most. Isis only by in- dustry, energy and frugality that the laboring classes can accumulate that competency which will enable them to ex- ercise the ease and comfort which the col- ored race avail themselves, notwithstand ing their poverty. When the negro learns these great lessons he will become a thrifty citizen, an iuValuable auxiliary in developing the resources of the South. He will supply most of the needed labor, and thus stop the incessant cry for foreign emigration. Let the colored nan dispose of his gun, ceaae to waste his time in diss cussing politics at elections, and join the whites in finding out and perpetuating the best system of developing the resources of the Suuth, in setding up the vast rich prairies, valleys and table lands, in building schoolbouses, churches, mills, manufac~ tories, establishing tanneries, opening quar of the situation. ‘lhe State Agricultural Society has recognized the necessity of action, and appoiuted a committee to urge’ the matter upon the Legislatare.

There is this difference between a mar- riage party and a funeral party. To the former, only invited guest are expected to attend. Any one may attend the: later that feels disposed to do go. With this conventional arrangemewt we have no particular objection. What we object to is the excesses which are practiced both at a funeral and a wedding. ‘There wil be burials aad marriages in the world as long as civiliza- tion exists. Allthe human family, by an unalterable fiat, must die, and giviliza- tion, as well as religion, demands that the bodies of the dead be in some decent way removed out of the sight of the liy~ ing. ‘Ehere will, whilst the world lasts, be warrjages ; for both good morale and the interest of civilization make biading ba upon most men and women to miarry. Marrying, liowever, is one thing, anda marriage party is another. Soalso, bury- ing adead man is one thing and the pomp and display of a funeral is another thing. Usually, a marriage is a cause of joy; bat stillitiea very solemn thin sto mar- ry. ‘l'oo frequently it is the beginning of sorrows innumerable. It makes an epoch in any man’s life, and not as seldom as might be expected, an epoch of sorrow aud shame. A morbid state of society demands that a marriage be attended with anexpensive and lordly eutertain~ ment. All the kin, and many of the neighbors, must be invited to enjoy the feast. All that is, if not foolish, at Icast very uecleas. It entails upon the families, to which the bridegroom and bride be: long, a heavy expense, and really profits no one anything. Not ouly is the enter~ tainment a useless expenge, but the dress of the bridegroom and bride is often nothing but’ a Useless éxtfavaganée. It often occurs that a young coupie start in the world with novbing bat a fine and graudy ward robe. It would be far bet~ ter for young people, when they deter- mine, to marry, simply to marry and eave the money usually juvesied ta cakes and candy, and thesame is truc respecting fu- nerals. ‘here is no sort of use or propriety in surviving relatives going to great ex- pense in the burial of their dead. Mach of the parade that is made over the dead is as empty and as transparently affected as air. It is right and-becoming that the dead be decently buried ; but it is un- called for and a useless extravagance to puta royal robe cn a body to be laid are clothed for the purpose of making them both comfortable and decent, buat the only object in patting clothes ona dead body is to make it decent. Faneral expenses often are really burdensome. The rich think, or seem to think, that they ehow their affection for their dead by placing their lifeless corpses in costly caskets. ‘This is all nonsease. Not uns frequently is the glaring inconsistency demonstrated by the bitter animosities which spting up in’a few diys about the estate of the deceased. ‘The poor try to ape this thing in the rich, and bestow more upon the dead than they are able to bestow upon the living. man needs little here below; and when dead he weeds far less thau when liviug. <=> Religion Enhances Every En- joyment. We may see how completly religion is adapted to the nature of man by observing that even the elements of enjoyment (and they are many, though fleeting) which this world contains are never fully tasted but by religious persons. Those abundants sources of pure des light which are to be found in the heart, the intellect and the imagioation, are never received in their fulness but by them. Aud, why? Because they are the germs of their future and more glorious being, and can only flourish in a scil akia tu that ultimately desti.ed for them. In a worldly mind, like plants removed from their original soil and clir ate, they exiat indeed, but with a blighted existence; and produce, but how degenerated is the production ! Everything that wants religion wants vitality. Philosphy, without religion, is crippled and impotent; poetry, without religion, has no heart-stirring powers ; life, without religion, is a complex and unsatisfactory riddle; the very arts which address them- selves to the sensea never proceed so far towarda perfection, as when employed on religious subjects. ; Relion, then, ean be no obstcale to ens joy ment, sirce the ouly sources of it, which are confessedly pure, are all enhauced by its possession. —_—_ Even in the ordinary commerce with the world, what a blessing awaits an exemption from the ‘low = — spirit, thé petty passions and paltry feefitge whieh aboadd fa” Leader. — away in the ground to rot. Living bodies | Whilst living, ihe Here silence reigns over the colany. The Press of October says: “The loss at Hong Kong and Macao is not less than 8,000 lives. Vessels arriving report meet- ing dead bodies a long distance before reaching port, and corpses are daily washed ashore in varions parts of the island. ‘The damage done to property is larger than anticipated. In Hong Kong alone the loss of property by the destruc- tion of vessela, buildings and general merchandise, will reach $5,000,000. ‘he at Aberdeen, has not yet been gotten off The boats of Spanish steamer Albay were lifted above the masts by the typhoon and came down with a crash.” A correspondent at Macao writes that the typhoou waa of the most terrific chars acter. Early on Wednesday, the tidal wave broke on shore with awful violence, sweeping everything before it When the tempest was atits height, fires broke out in six different places maliciously caused by pirates for spoils. ‘The church of Stanton and a large number of houses in the neighborhood were completely burned down. Many people lost every- less. Macao was laidin ruics, and the (misery thus entailed upon hundreds of its residents is fearful, while the loss of life was enormoas. It is computed that over 10,000 lives were lost in Macao alone. Four days after, thegffluvia arising from the thousands of decomposing bodies was refused to bury any more bodies. Governor, fearing that a plague would tollow if the bodies were not disposed of, ordered them to be burued ; 4,000 bodies were cremated, the troops first covering the corpses with tar and then setting the heap on fire. ‘Nhe loss of life around and in the vicin~ ity of Hong Kong will exceed 4,000, A killed. The whole number of lives will number 20,000 souls. he amount of property destruyed goes far into two millions.

The Road must be built. At the eall of Mayor Keen, a large and spirited meeting was be'd at Meroney’s | Hall, Friday evening last, to promote the sebeme of the Yadkin Rail Road. Maj. P. N. Heilig was called to the chair, and Mr. Murebieon of the Intelligencer, and ‘Mr. Bruner, of the Watchman, requested to record the proceedings. At the request of the Chairman, Mayor Keen explained the object of the meeting. He entered upon the general subject of the situation of the Town and County with reference to Rail Road facilities, and urged with mueh force, the impurtanee of building the Yadkin Road. He but ex- pressed the decided conviction otf the citizens generally, when he declared that there existed an imperative necessity for this work, and that it was impossible to delay action on it exeept atthe cost of great public and private interests. Messrs. T.F. Klotz, J. W. Manney, J. J. Stewart, Wm. Mardoch, Kerr Craige, and A. J. Mock, were severally called and responded in pertinent and forcible remarks. Mr. Mock offered some statis- tical facts of great importance bearing directly on the subject uuder considera- tion. On motion of Dr. Keen, the vote of the meeting was taken un the question of a Town subscription of 50,000 to the Yadkin Road. It was designed merely to aseertain the sentiment of the meeting. ‘The vote was taken by rising and sitting ; and it was unanimous in favor of the subscription. Mayor Keen then offered the following resolution : ReeoLveD, That the chairman of the meeting appoint a committee of ten per- sons, to memorialize the legislature and procnre the passage of an act authorizing the town of Salisbury to iesue bonds to the amount of Fifty Thousand Dolla:s and the county of Rowan, bonds to the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dol- lars, to be transfered to the President and Directors of the Yadkin Rail company to aid in the construction of said Road, and that said committee be farther instructed to confer with the counties of Stanly and Anson, and if possible get those countics to take similar action to authorize them to issue bonds in such amount as they may deem advisable to aid in the coustruction of said road. . ing then adjourned to meet again on the call of the above committee.

The Watchman vs Rings.— Remember that the Watchman does not belong to any of the many rings that are formed to prey upon the people, the un- suspecting and the heedless, but that it is a bold and outspoken enemy of all such combinations. It will not sanction any purely class or sectional measure, bat will staud by the people against dishonest government, dishonest officiale, dishonest combinations, rings, cliques, and political bers; that they will not agree to go into cauéus on the snbject unless the two thirds rule is first applied there. We hope there is some mistake about this ; for it is 80 unreasonable, so widely different from the usages that bave here~ tofoge obtained in such matters, we are inelined to doubt. If this is the temper of members it shows a disregard for the trae interest of party, for its time-honored eustome, for its organization and use-~ fulmese, that cannot yet be fully accounted for, If the voice of a majority of the meisbers of the party is not to be fespeet ed, what is the uee of having a majority of Cénservatives in the legislature ? ‘I'he should not be held responsible for theaction of its members when a majority is net permitted to govern: Yet it will . ben a Convention is not called, the party will be held responsible for it,” and madé*to suffer in 1876.

Gaither of Burke, and Col. Coleman and Captain Johnston of Buneombe deny this. Who knows the feeling of the peo- ple of the West better, the opponente of the Convention in the Centre and Eaat or such Western men as Gaither, Coleman and Johnston ? It is said the people will be scared about their Homesteads. Let the-power to in- terfere with the Homesteads be withheld from the Convention by the act of the Legislature calling it. It is said the Radical party will be a anit against it. Prominent Radicals here are warmly in favor of a Convention.— Wilmington Journal. Judging from the vote given for Con- vention in 1871, the people did not seem to fear that the Homestead provision would be interfered with by Conservatives; and the Homestead was then thought to be 01 more value than it subsequently proved to be. It has been virtually decided by the U.S. District Court that the retro- spective feature of the Homestead law is ipso facto null and void. ‘his decision will relieve nearly every body of their Homestead who was in debt and took ad- vantage of the law at the time of its adop- tion. But the Homestead provision, as worthless as it may prove to those effected by the decision above referred to, no one wishes to destroy, and there is not the slightest danger of it being done. But it needs to be made better, and no one would dare to make it worse. Mr. Edwards well saya, every one knows that if a Convention is called, so far from repealing the -homestead and personal property exemption clauses of the Con- stitution, the Convention will enlarge the homestead provision from a life estate to an estate in fee simple. This is jast what should be done. A life interest amounts to nothing. Itis a feature that is really damaging to prosper- ity and progress. A man who has a life interest only in his homestead is without any incentive to improve it, as he cannot leave it to his children. Every encour- egement should be given tothis class of our citizens, and we are in favor of exten- ding the benefits of the Homestead, ins stead of curtailing them. ‘Tt will cost you only $2,10, postage paid, for one year, sa THe Caronina WatTcHMAn is the oldest paper in Western Carolina.

And when men and women are of a marriagea- ble age, I think it is to be in general true that it is wholesome for them to be mars ried. It isnot necessary that they should remain single because they stand in povs. erty, for two ean live cheaper than one if they live with discretion, if they live with co-operative zeal, if they live as the ofght to live. If the young man is will- ing to seem poor when he is poor; if the young woman being poor is willing to live poorly ; if they are willing to plant their lives together like two seeds, and wait for their growth, and look for their abundance by and by, when they have fairly earned it, then it is a good thing for them to come early into this partnership. For characters adapt themselves to each other in the early periods of life far more easily than they do afterwards. They, who marry early are like vines growing together and twining ronnd and round each other; whereas multitudes of those who marry late in life stand side by side like two iron columns, which, separated at the beginning never come any nearer to each other. ‘There is no school which God ever opened, whieh young people can so ill avoid as the school of care and re~ sponsibility and labor in the household; and a young man and young woman mar- rying, no matter from what source they come together, no matter haw high tkeir fathers have stood, one of the most whole- some things they can do, having married for love, and with discretion, isto be will ing to begin at the bottom, and bear the burdens of honsehold life so that they shall have its education. —--- ~~ there are at present twenty-six thou- sand four hundred and forty-one men in the United States army, at least forty-one ot whom, it is belieyed would be sober enongh to answer to their names were the roll called at any hour night or day.— Richmond Enquirer. ~~ The Oregon Legislature has passed a Lill enabling any person who loses at genbling to ere double the amount so lost.

It is not because our property is ofan inferior quality or that our land is poorer, but simply because we have no market for our produce—no com. peting lines of Rail Road, that wil! enable us to buy and sell to the same advantage that other counties near us have. All the profits of our merchants and producers go in the way of excessive freights. They pay more in this way annually than the interest on two hundred thousand dollars would amount to. This we have to sub- mit to and still suffer the stagnation in business, the general depreciation of our property, and the waat ofa remuneratiye market for our products: and we must continue to suffer until we secure a com- peting line that will compell the reduction of freights and open up a_ better market.

Like fragrant blossoins of the spring, ‘And sweeter than them all! And fresher, purer than the winds That lift the petals of the flowers, They gladden all my fevered life With new and renovating powers. Sweet kisses from the lips I love, Stranz on the heart’s inost tender chords, Like pearls that treinble with my joy, Too beautiful for human words! So press them ever ou iny brow— They soothe the pain that’s throbbing there; They are the richest diadem My woinan’s soul aspires to wear! The Refuge. There is a peace that all may know, That language can never tell ; Pure as the crystal waters flow, More sweet than Jacob's well ; “Tis found where flowed the bloody tide, Close to our loving Saviour’e side. There is a place from trials free From toil and rest aud care, Where sorrowiog Christians oft times flee Safe from the tempter’s snare, “Tis found low at the Master's feet, Who joys his suffe: ing ones to greet. There is a rest earth cannot give ; Pvor, thirsty. famished suint. Fly to this rest. O fly and live— Go tell him thy complaint, His tender heart feels all thy grief; No other source brings such relief. There on his loving heart recline, Then look upon thy pain. There every earthly wish resign, And know what is thy gaiu, k Beck upon the grief of years. nd fearn to swile at all thy tears. O Christian, it is thine to know The bliss to love divine— thé@ the liviog waters flow, gletious crown. is thine, eu linger not within the vale But haste thee, lest the foe assail. Leave gelf, leave all—fly to his heart, | With bainble, child life taith ; There know this joy this and rest ; Tis shine ia life, in deat! * Go to-that Christ who died. who ruse— None other ean give such repose.

Thoug rough, and oftes uneducated, they- bear yp- on their honest brows the “royal stamp @nd seal of God ;” and their drops of sweat are worthier ‘than diamonds in a coropet.”’ Ss, | Without them the pride and glory of a na- tion would be gone.

Do away with the mechanics, and you destroy cities, towns. railroads, factories. navigation. and the entire commerce of continent. All feeling that we touch the hand of a nation s nobleman. Yes, “The noblest men that live on earth Are men whose hands are brown with toil, Who rear the cities of the plain. Who dig the mines. who baild the ships, And drive the commerce of the main. God bless them ! for their toiling hands Have wrought the glory of all lands ” —__—_~o——_—__—— The Last Scene at Sedan. A writer in the London contemporary Sedan and the historic meeting there rather interesting. ‘he chief. point, of couree, is a description of the little room in the weaver’s house in which Napoleon and Bismarck conferred. . At» this mo- ment “its furniture is what it was-on that day—a round table, two chairs, a few ornaments upon the chimmey-piece, and a preas in the corner.. ‘I'he conference was carried on in German, both parties to it apeaking very low, the weaver’s wife, who was left in the outer room. Then Bismarck rose to go away ; the weaver’s wife warned him about the narrow stair~ case, but he spring down the steps like a young man of twenty, aud for three hours the Emperor was left by himself in the little room.—He eat at the table with his head in hishande. General Lubran came to see him in the interval; but he would not speak to him. He seemed literally overwhelmed. He told the woman to shut up all the windows, and eat quietly here till Bismarck returned When the Prusian Minister came back he was in full uniform. A guard accompanied him, and from this little cottage into which he went an Emperor, Napoleon departed a prisoner. But before he left he banded the woman four twenty france pieces. “He put them into my own hands,”’ she says, with an excusable sense of pride. They bang now in a glass frame ovcr her chimmey piece, three bearing the head of the Emperor aud one of Louis XVII. The weaver’s wife has probably made a neat little fortune. £100 each for the Napaleons, and of course, refused—it would be selling the goose with the golden eggs. She has been tempted over and over again, chiefly by Americans, who have offered enormous snms for the table and two chaire. One German seated himeelf in the Emperor's chair, entertaining her conversation, and all the time was tearing out pieces of the straw which made the aea; of it. Bits of the paper off the wall, actually shavings off the legs of the cbair, bave been taken away, but experience has tanght the own- er caution. How to Make Money by Farming. farming in its true sense. By such labor no mouey is ever made.—A man may support himself and family, keep ont of debt and have a few dollars in his pocket by practic- ing the most rigid economy. If he is other- wise than industrious aud sober, be is on the down grade with loose brakes, and the end is soon reached. But farming in its true sense is A profes- sion equal in dignity to the law or medicine, and needs equal study, mental capacity, and intelligently directed labor to command suc- ceas init. The principles which underlie the practice of the true farmer must be un- operations. must be followed. Having thoroughly learned the nature and cagacity of the soil he possesses, and chosen the ro- tation most suitable, aud the stock to be inost profitable kept on it. he does not swerve from the chosen course, but in good imarkets and bad, raises his regular corps aud keeps his hand iv regular increasing fertility. No special cry tempts or affrights him. He does not talk dairy this reason and crops the next. but doubtless, if any particular product be in demaud and brings a good price, he has some to sell and reaps his share of the advantage. He saves as much as some meno make, by care and economy in purchas- iug xod preserving tools, seeds and manures, avd machines. and his business habits and cunstant rediness fur all occasions give him reasonable securily against the effects of ad- verse seasons and bad weather. Always prepared. he is never too late: always calin, he is never too soon; and thus, “taking time by the forelock,” he has the stern old tyrapt at his cominand, and turns him at his will. He has no losses, and his gains are steady .— The Louisiana Conspiracy. The following isa doublesleaded edi- torial in Tbureday’s New Yok Sun: We learn from very teustworthy scources that it is the purpose of the car- pet-bag authorities in Louisiana to count in the Republican candidates for State officers, with the majority if not all of the Republicans who rau for Congresz, and a sufficient number of the defeated nominees to the Legislature to control that body and thereby prevent the impeachment of Kellogg and secure the United States Senator. Grant isin the plot and has to carry it through with the bayo~ neis cf the army.

C. Tobacco Association. Greensboro, N.C. Nov. 25. Pursnant to the call of Col. E. P. Jones, the North Carotina Tobacco Man- ufacturer’s Association assembled in Greensboro, Weduesday, Nov. 25, at one o’clock, P. M. The Association assem- bled in the Unitee States Revenue office, by invitation of Collector Winstead. Col. Jones was called to the chair and stated the object of tle meeting to be to take proper steps to break up blockaders and to punish the evil doers when caught. Wherenpon, the following premable and reaolutions were offered by Geo. N. Thompson of Leasburg, N.C., and read by the Secretary Jack Morris : Wuerkas, It isa fact to be regetted, but not denied, that there are manufac~ turers of tobacco who do evade the United States Revenue Laws, to the great detri- ment of the honest manufacturer’; there- fore. Resolved, ‘That we, the manufacturers of North Oarolina, do hereby pledge our- selves to use all legitimate meaus in our ressing the same.

Edwards, of writtet: a letter on the 5 1 tion from which we.make forcible extracts : ta I regard it to be the imperative duty of the General ‘Assembly; now-im-seesion, to the people of the State, to take -meas- he | ures, without ‘unnecessary delay, for as- sembliug the people, by their’ delegates, the Constitation. As .before etated, it is admitted by those who oppose, as well as by those who favor the calling of a Gen- vention, that our Constitution ig as fall of miechief as an egg ig of meat; and, in trath, is:well:nigh as bad ag can be. There are many bold aud badimen in the State, bit no man has, a8 ye found with enuugh of that bad co which bears public odium to stand f fense of this mos: miechiavt stitutions. speecher which the Conservatives aud Democratic party leaders have been in the habit of addressing to the people since the adoption of the Constitution, has cons sisted mainly in vehement denuneiations of the Constitution and in solemn pledges to the people that they would, as soon as they were in the condition to act, take instant steps to wipe from the age and the country in which we live, this re+ proach to the haman family. And when, upon the return of the representative to his constituents, after the adjournment of each session of the General Assembly, he haa been asked what he has doue to alleviate the public distrcas, and after an- ewering as well as he could, and been reproached with having done so little for the public good, has he not always sought to excuse himself by denouncing the Constitution as an insurmountable barrier between patriotic desire and salutary legislation 7 If the excuse is valid ; if the Constitution is indeed an insurmoun- table obstacle to wise, just, and beneficient legislation, what possible excuse cau this General Assembiy, with a two-thirds ma jority in each branch, give to the people for not calling a Convention and redress~ ing the grievances which they have hith- erto 80 loudly and eloquently proclaimed 1 The old excuse will serve them no longer. This General Assembly must call a Con- vention now, or else the party which it represents will stand, self-convicted, be- fore the world as vile and veval slaoder- ers ; as loud mouthed and noisy dema- gogucs, who achieved power under false and fraudulent pretences ; and who when trusted with power by the people were cither incapable or uuwilliug to use it for he public good. Let us imagine, fora moment, that the resent General Assemnbly shall adjouro She has been offered (aioli aid the revenue officers in sup-| without making provision for the assem~ bling of a Convention ; that the represen- tative is again before his constituents for re-election ; and that the constituent body again demands of him to be informed, what has been done to ameliorate the pub- lic suffering? Let us imagine further that the answer returned is unsatisfacs tory, and that the excuse is again prot. fered that the Constitution ia the impe- diment which prevented the General As sembly from doing all that an enlighten. ed and magnanimous constituency had a a right to expect of it, Can it be doubted that auch a constituency would require to be informed, why it was that the General Assembly, having the requisite conetitu- tional majority in both of its branches, to enable it to call a Convention to alter and amend so obnoxious an instrament, failed or retused to do so? And what answer shall be given to this very reasonable demand for information ? Why, forsooth ? that the General Assembly was afraid to call a Convention. AFRAID! Why, ia the name of common sense, of what was it afraid? And the answer is—afraid of the people; afraid if a Convention were called the political power, 80 recently and unexpectedly acquired, would be forever lost. Such an answer as this is the last straw which breaks the camel's back. The people, like the strong man of the Scriptures, rising in the majesty ot their anshorn might, will at once and forever hurl from place and power the timid, slothful and unprofitable servants which accident and an evil fate have ina mo- ment of anexampled uational importance, elevated to a atation infinitely beyond their merit. Afraid of the people, were you! Then the people are afraid to entrust you again with their interests. Stand aside —make way for other aud better mer. ‘I'he Ship of State is never again to be entrasted to the command of those who blenched from the belm when the storm raged fiercest. Yon told us not once, but again and again, that this Con- stitution was the only obstacle to wise and beneficent Iegislation. You promised us not once, bat agaiu and again, that you would seize the first occasion to re- move this obetacle from your path. You have deceived us with false clamor ; you have deluded us with false promises; you have, by your timidity and folly, thrown away a golden opportunity; an opportunity such as seldom occars to the children of men; an opportunity such as may uot oc~ cur for a century. Again we say to you, stand aside! Make way, and forever* for other and better mea. —___~-~+>>-__——_- Wat we Miessp.—By going home one day we missed Gen.

I had a right to ack just what I pleased forit, and nobody has a right to call my condact in nestion.” ‘The landlord made no reply. When breakfast was over the peasant asked bow much was to pay. ‘he landlord replied, “Three louis d’ors.” “What!? said the peasant, “three louis d’ors for a cup of coffee and a few slices of bread and butter ?” “Yes,” said the landlord, with the ut- most composure ; “the coffee and bread avd butter were mine; I havea right to ask just what I please for them. My bill is three lonis d’ors and I shall keep your horse and cart until you pay me. If you think I am charging you too much you can go before the Judge.” The peasant, without say ing anything more, went to the Judge’s office and made his complaint. The Judge was surprised and indignant at the landlord's extortion, especially as he had always borne an ex cellent character. He ordered him to be brought before him, and his reception of him was some- what stern. Bat the landlord told bim the whole story —bow the peasant bad taken advantage of the poor immigraut’s ignorance to cheat him, what their con- versation was, and how his own conduct was simply visiting upon the head of a dis- honest man the wrong he had done to an- other. Under sucheircumatanccs the Judge de- cided that the landlord had done right, and that the peasant should pay the three louis d’ors. ‘Ihe peasant, with a very ill grace, drew out his purse and laid the money on the table. “J do not wantthis mouey,” said the landlord to the Judge, ‘as your honor may well suppose. Wil! you have the goodness to change one of these louis d’ors and give the peasant two dollars of it— for that, as he confessed to me, is all that his wood is worth—and retarn the remain- der to the poor Freuchman? For the breakfast I want votbing. The Judge was much moved at the words of the good iunkeeper. He counted out the two dollars to the peasant and dis- miseed him with a severe rebuke. The rest was returned to the poor immigrant, who, on hearing the story went to thank for the peasant’s breakfast. Pray and Wait. Pray frequently, and wait quietly, and the Lord will make your way plain. and if you are called to the ministry, he will exercise your soul beforehand with sharp conflicts. Joseph must be first cast into a pit by his own brethrea, then. into prison by his master, before he rules the kingdom ; and David must be “hunted as a flea” upon the mountains before he gets the scepter. How can you tell what othera fecl unlees you have felt the same yourself? Undertake nothing without first seeking direction from the Lord ; and when any thing offers that is plausi- ble and inviting, beg of God tu disappoint you, if it be not according to his mind. You ean not safely rely on your own judgment, after God has told you, “He that trusteth in Bis own heart is a fool.” This advice relates to all important changes in life. .o—_—_—- Keeping Mears Wartine.—Little things often interfere with our comfort very much, and one small annoyance is for men to delay coming to dinner when called.

If this in accomplished it will be an advance to~ ward thé great principles of self govern- ment. He compared the Jadges, who under- take to interpret the Constitution, to a man who is going either North, East, Sonth, or West, on the occan, a horizon of difficulty everlasting opens’ before him. He declared our present government merely de facto, as not being properly derived aud concladed amid great applause as follows : “But the men of 1835, delegates and constitueuts, have nearly all passed away. In their day they did well. The State prowl under their rule. They had drank at the fountains of revolutionary wisdom, and proepered thereby. They had beard from the lips of their fathers bow our liberties were won, and had learn- ed to appreciate in full meaeure, the value of those liberties. Those of them who have departed sleep in honored graves, their lights have as- cended, to shine in the heaven of oar hie- tory. Caswell, and Davis, and Macon, and hosts of others, who walked with Washington in the paths of freedom, bad already preceded them; and in latter years Stanly, and Morehead, and Badger, and Ruffiv, and Swain, and Cameron, have taken their places inthe upper sky. A few of these lights still linger, like beacons on a long line of coasts, to warn us of the breakers and quicksands that confront aud environ us. And the men of 1861—what shall I say of them? Whereare they ? The delegates of that year constituted a body which would have been worthy of the goldea age of the Republic. They grappled with difficulties and evcountered odds, which would have staggered a Caswell or a Wastiington. Many of them, with thou- gands of the men for whom they spoke on the 20th of May, 1861, have gone down in the fiery storm of battle, waged oh, how long, and oh, how unavailingly, for Southern independence! Thongh priva- tion, and suffering, and heart-sickness, though the heart broke not, and the will bent not ; through famine, sometimes with naked feet, sometimes in tatters, reduced, many of them, to marching skeletons, insomuch that gefierous toes would drop @ tear upon the wasted form death-stricken on the gory field ; againet odde constantly increasisg, and at last without hope, theae gallant men, many of them stil unnamed demigogs, passed onward in the couflict laying their bones to bleach on the bat- tle fields of nearly every Southern State. ‘They failed ; did they ? Not in patriotic valor, mot in indomitable ardor, not iu de- yotion to liberty, not in the utterance and display of that glorious feeling which leads m2n to die for their native laud. But those who survived to surrender at Appomattox, did so in good faith. They are again following the flag of their fath- ers, with no faint or grudging allegiance, for what a soldier pledges he per- forms. And now fellow-citizens, if the shades of the men of ’76 aud '35 could appear in our midat and speak, and above all, if the fallen heroes of ’61 could appear in the mortal scene, shimmering in the blood j which they shed for ne, what would they say?

Un- who can tell when that will be? ‘The present generation wil] hardly live to see it, No; if we let slip the present oppor tunity to adopt a Constitution of our own, rest of our lives, We shall go down to our graves, a people governed by a Con- ers with Federal bayonets, and not a self- governed people, under laws enacted by ourselves. Our advancement will be postponed ; our recuperation delayed; our . aed terest. It would do more to relieve the tax-bardened and mortgaged-ridden peo- ple of she state than almost any thing else. There will never be any capital in this State with which to buy lands, huild factories, erect machine shops and to de~ velop our resoarces until euch a law has been enacted. It is the merest non-sense to talk about the paseage of a Usary law being likely to produce saffering. Men can aiways get money if they have good callaterale, and the estimate placed upon their calla- terale is always iu accordance with the interest they pay. The peaple are praying for a usnry law, while the money interests are pray- ing against it. What will the Legislature do? Will it kuuckle to the demands of the money ring ? or will it heed the cry of the poor, mortgaged-ridden distressed masses of the State ? SYNOPSIS OF PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. WasuinotTox, Dec. 7.

The Money interest is evidently exert- ing its powers in certain quarters to pres vent the Legislatare, if possible, from enacting a much needed Usury law. We have been much amused at some of our exchanges, epeaking in this interest. They grow prolix on the fact that the Usury laws, at the instance of the money rings of conrse, have been generally re- But they don’t tell us that by reason of this very fact seven- tenths of the people of Europe are abject slaves to the money rings and oligarchs which Lave been elevated over and upon the bones and muscles of the laboring classes for the want of wise and equitable Usury laws. And that is exactly what the money interest would do in this country, and what it will soon have effected, if i: be not specially checked by timely Usary pealed iu Europe. As an evidence of the strides the mon- ey interests are making in this country and the danger to be apprehended, we may cite the refusal of the government arday.—Charlotte Democrat. At this rate it wil] not take long to fill | up the big boarding house at Raleigh. The Penitentiary is one of the greatest mistakes of the last ten years. We told the people when it was first talked of shat it would be a burden and expence to the State, and so it has been, and so it will be. It never can be made self-sus- taining. Furthermore, it does not beve the moral effect to reduce erime or make criminals obey the law better. For the larger portion of those who get in there i: is a haven of rest and enjoy- mest. The old whipping post beat the Iaatitution all hollow. It was indeed an imatrameut of reform. It struck terror into the ruffians and promoted the observance of law and order. The influence that the Penitentiary exerts over nine-teuthe of the warnly class is just the opposite. What eare the great majority of criminals for a | few years iv the Penitentiary where every want is provided for,—a little work, just enough to promote healib, with no care or coucern about any thing under the san. Plenty to eat, plenty to drink, with mod erate work—cat and sleep,—come day, go day, God send sunday! with vote thought to disturb their peace, they are better off than if they wore at home. We believe that public expence would be re- @uced, and public morals promoted by abolishing the Penitentiary and re-estab~ lishing the Whipping poat. | | “.BVERY BODY FOR CON- VENTION. Tt is a little remarkable that wherever the propriety of baving a Couveution now bas been discussed, or wherever there has been a public meeting beld to ascertain the wishes of the people on the subject, Bo one bas been foand to oppose it. It wupt be evident, therefore, that the peo- ple are for a Convention and for it now. It is perhaps the most favored and only thauee for fifty yeare to tome to get rid ofa very objectiouable and oppressive Constitation. The opportanity sbould net be allowed to pass by. The Conserva- to tax the government bonds, emption is in theiutercst, if not at the instance, of the money kings. We sup pose the next step will be to exempt all notes from taxation given for money Why not? Just as well the one as the other, To repeal all Usury laws is simply to necessities of the people. But we are told that it will drive away |t it away than permit it to fix itself like a t energies and curtailing ite usefulness. Neither will it be driven away io this uudeveloped resourees offer better induce- t ments to capitalist than any other in the of affairs in Cuba cannot long cuntinue. it may become necessary for other nations with our own to interfere to terminate the insur- rection which has so loug prevailed. the spauish guvernment having unsuccesfully attempted to suppress it. Meantime the commerce of all countries, and especially that of the United States. suffers, the flags of the United States and England having been insulted. The President in conversa: tion, although he does not state the fact in hig message. says the United States purchase about eighty per cent. of Cuban exports, aud therefore the duties paid by American citi- zen‘cvsntribute to this exteut in helping Span w continue the war agaiust the Insur- Gents. The President had hoped that by the meeting of Congr-ss, the present uegu- tiatioins with Spain wou'd have been ended. but in this he has beeu disappuiuted He therefore, in hismessage. says little or noth- iug about indeminity pendiug the negotia- tions, bata future time will present the sub- iect for the social consideration of Congress. The position of the Presidevt on the fiuan- cial question is positively as fulluws: Notwithstandiug the former speculation of those who spoke without authority, he de- sires and will recommend the resumption of S8pecie!payment at the earliest practicable day; but he does not believe this ean be reached as soon as the first of January. He does not name any day, leaving Cungress to fix upon a plan tu secure this desired end, it being the duty of Congressto duso. The le- gal tender clause of the currency act. hethinks should be repealed, to take effect us to con- tracts made after day to be fixed dy law for its repeal. Power shonld be given to the Seoretary of the Treasury to obtain gold, from and after fixed for the resuinptiou of specie payment, by the issuance of bonds. In addition to this, the reyenues of the Gov- erninent should be in excess of expenditures to support thg resumption, greater economy bust be procared in all departments of the government, and, if necessary, the custuins aud internal revenue laws changed in order to secure a larger amount of revenue.

Government, but will merely refer to the fact that Congress has already appointed a Commit- tee on Transportation Routes to the Seaboard, which has already made its report and will give further information from more recent in- vestigations. The President devotes much apace to affairs in Arkansas, giving ounses why he declined to interfere in the recent difficulties in that State, and he adverts to the facts narrated in his spe- cial message to Congress, F ebruary 1873, rela- tive to Louisiana, ingvhich he said he had no specific recommendation to make on the sub- Ject, but if there were any practical way of re- moving these difficulties by legislation, then he earnestly requested that the question might be taken up at the seasion of Congress. He was extremely anxious to avoid any pretence of undue interference in State affairs, and if Con- gress differed with him as to what ought to be done, he requested its immediate decision to that effect—atherwise he should feel obliged, as far as he could by the exercise of legitimate an- thority, to pat an end to this unhappy contro- veray, which disturbed the peace and Prostrated the basiness of Louisiana, by the recognition and support of oe which was re- cognised and upheld by the Courts of the State It seemed advisable that he should state what course he should fee! boand to pursue in refer- ence to the matter in the event of no action being taken by Congress at that time, but sub- i. to aay satisfactor7 arrangement that might made dy the parties to the controversy, and which, of all things, was the most desirable. — It would be his duty, as far as it might be neces- sary for him to act, to adhere to the govern- ment eee by him. The Pres- ident again submits this question to Con and will continne to act as he has heretofore acted relative to affairs of Louisiana, unless The President reiterates his confidence in the Indism@peace policy.

The President does not allude to Utah affairs, the subject being left open for future consider- auion. He calls attention to the fact that Chinese immigrants cont'nue to be brought to this coun- try ander the condition of slaves, according to contract. and alao women, whose character is such as to demoralize the communities in which they are located. He invites legislation on this subject, saying it will be his leasnre as well as duty to execute any law on thesubject, The President, in further conversation, said he had three vacant District Judgeships to fill, namely, in Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana. It was probable he might be successful in selec- ting aduitable appointee for Alabama from that State, but as to the other Staten there was more difticulty—and he might eens = forced toappojnt persons not now resident in them. vais A aaa those best fitted fur the place were either in favor of the Garland Gov- ernment or @epiréd its total overthrow. .

Without intending to advise, we will ven- tare the assertion that Charlotte will find it to the interest of the place to have these outrages stopped at all hazzard. Otber places that have been troubled with simi- lar outrages bave found it necessary to reviee their police system and increase the force, It may entail an increased expenée, bat all good citizens will approve it. The Daily Advocate is the name given a sprightly paper issued daily from the Christian Advocate Office, Raleigh, for the last week or ten dayr. We be- lieve it was only promised to issue the daily during Conference, but a paper that bas shown so much life should not dic unsung. It was neat, spicy, newsv, re- ligious, and has no doubt awakened uew interest in the Methodist Church paper in the State, the Christain Advocate, as it has done great credit to its editors, and: shown them to passess in an eminent de- gree the qualities neces£gary to conduct an able and succesefull journal. The New York Observer.—Tbis most excellent weekly journal stands at the head of the religious newspapers of the cvuntry. After several years of intimate acquaintance wich it, we have no hesita- tion in pronouneing it the beat paper of its class we have ever seen. Its religious intelligence embraces every denomination ia this and nearly all other countries. The broad and comprehensive spirit of liberali- ty towards the various denominations effectually conceal the particular bias of the editor, Mr. Prime. The foreign correspondence is of the first order of talents; and the home contributors, who are numerous and able, eeldum fai! to write with that diguified difference to good taste, trae refinement and christianity su well calculated to win the approval of the reader. The secular department of this double sheeted journal is also exeellent. It is just such a paper aa any good man wil |cheerfully introduce into his family for ‘the benefit of his children, whose welfare Price $3. per he desires to promote. ‘A Dangerons. Place,— According | ' by Mecklenburg county,-more than two! have been received in return by her peo- ple in the way. of trade, expenditares, in the city by.the: Roads, and the inereased 7 of the porulation.— Charlotte. Dem- The above is what Mr. Yates of the Charlotte Democrat says about thé invest- ments in Railroads by the City of Ghar- lotte and the County of Mecklenburg. That it is a trathful statement no one will doubt who knows Mr. Yates. If.we are eurrectly informed Charlotte and Mecklen- burg Co., have voted at different times between three and five bundred thousand dollars for Railroads, and instead of it having embarrassed or trammeled their people, they have grown rich and pros- perous under it. Property there is worth fifty per cent. more than in this county or town. Tt is proposed to raise in this eounty one hundred thousand dollars, only, paya: ble in thirty years, for the purpose of se- caring the Yadkin Raod, and yet there is opposition to it. The old fogies tell ua it will never do; that it willruinns; that the people will not consent to it. &e., Well, we are satisfied it is the best thing the county can do; Lut we are willing to leave the matter entirely with the people. Let the matter be submitted to them. If they want the Road and are willing to be taxed to secure it, nobody should object. We hope the Legislature will pass the bill that bas been submitted to it, auihor- izing the people to take a yote on this matter, and then we want the people to excercise their right to say at the ballot box whether they will have the Road or not. £@” We do hope that all our readers will renew their subscription to the Watch- man before the first day of January next.

Mr. ‘Tomlinson, is the proprietor of the Bush Hill Tanner- /ry which is noted throughout the country | for the superiur quality ot the leather turn- ed out there by him. Mr. ‘I’. is also noted | for his integrity and many other good qualities ag a citizen. In 1821 Mr. Tom- lingon cat a stick from a fallen sycamore, shortly after cutting it. he bad occasion to visit his spring, and before getting wa- ter, he stuck the stick down into the mad or damp ground near by, and forgetting it went off and left it, Some time after this, while at his spring, he observed that the stick had pat forth luxurious eprouts, and was evidently disposed to grow, not- withstanding its natural order was inver~ ted ; that is, the emall end or the end that had grown upward was intheearth. Mr. ‘Tomlinson determined to letit stand to see whether it would ever grow to be a tree. The result is that the walking stick care- leasly stuck in the mud there, by Mu. f'om- linson, as above stated, in 1821, ie now a magnificent tree, measuring about four feet in diameter at the trunk. ‘This story seems somewhat incredible, but it is vouched for by Mr. Tcmlinson himself who is yet living and whose word no one will question that knows him, and also by other gentlemen of the highest charac- ter. The Revenue Office.—Dr. J.G Ramsay has fully qualified and taken possession of the Internal Revenue Office which has been removed to this place where it was for many years previonsly to its removal to Stateeville by Dr. Mott, some two yeare ago. ‘This is the most central and most con~ venient point for the large majority of tax payers, and we are glad that Dr. Ramsay has felt it his duty to secure the removal of the office to thisfplace. The enemies of the Town have endeavored to produee the impression that the place was un- healthy, and have cited as evidence the death of some two or three persons from the mountains, who died after their return from Salisbury. They had eome here on some business with the Federal Court, and camped, against the advice of friends, peara pond which is now drained, aud were attacked by the mularia ariaing from it, and returned to the mountains and died, either from this cause, exposure, or some other, we can not undertake to say what. But there is no loeal eause of disease here now, the only one that was claimed to be having been removed; and better health is enjoyed nowhere in the State than in Salisbury. This our physicians will teatify to. We believe, and it is the epinion of those best qualified to speak, that Salisbury is less sul ject to diseases of a dangereus or malignant character than /formed that ov the evening of the 267h ult, Coot Long and Joe Mitchell, while on a Bpree, went to a place called Savan- nah Creek, 4 miles the other side of Web ster, for the purpose of procuring liquo.. While there, they quarrelled, and Mitchell shot Long, the latter dying from the eff-ets of the wouud next morning. Mitchell is from East Tennessee, and during the lat- ter part of the war was employed on the yov' Fament traneports that plied berweeu Knoxville and Chattanooga. Long is a native. Neither of them had trades or profession, aud were classed with that incongruous inass Known in this country as “traders.” Both were regarded az desperate wen when phrensied with whiskey.—Asheville Pioneer. Particulars of the Murphy Homicide.—In our last issue we gave an account of the fatal shooting of W. F. Henry by David Abernathy. Mayor Staub, of Knoxville, Tean., was in Marphy at the time of the murder, and furnishes the following additional particulars : Some slight remarks had been made about Heury’s sister, to which he took objec- tion, and on the evening previous to the shooting, io talking to Abernathy about it, he remasked that ‘“somebody’s blood would ran cold for it,’’? but assured Aber~ nathy that he was not the man he suspi- cioned. ‘On the vext morning Abernathy met Henry, and without a moment’s warn- ing, drew a pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in Heury’s heart, who died instantly. After Abernathy was arrested, it was found he,bad three pistols, while Henry had no arms atall. Some of Abernathy’s warmest friends were on the Coroner's Jary, and after hearing the testimony, they pronounced it as cold blooded a mar- der as they ever heard of. It certaiuly .{sarprises the community, as Abernathy was a well-to-do young merchant who had always moved in the best society there. — Asheville Pioneer. Shooting in Mitchell County. — We are in receipt of a letter from Grassy Creck, Mitchell county, which states that on the 14th ult., a youth named William Geutry, shot and seriously wounded Mr. Benjamin Phillips, a prominent eitizen of Aghe county, who approached a crowd of youths that were wrangling aud endéavored to preserve the peace. Sub- sequently Gentry shota boy, whose name our intormant did not learn.— Pioneer. Stabbed,—We learn that a few days sjnce av affray oecarred on Fine’s Creek Haywood county, between a man named Rogers and another named Rathbone, in which ihe latter stabbed the former, in. flieting a serious but not fatal wound. ‘The difficulty grew out of a difference of epinion in regard to some Church prope erty. Rathbone was arrested and taken before Esquire Nolan, who committed him to jail, to await the result of Rogers’ wound, which at that time was supposed to be fatal: Rogers js rapidly recovering. — Pioneer. SHootine Arratre IN AsHE CouNTy.— From a private letter received yesterday we learn of the particulars of a shooting affair that uccurred a few days ago near the county seat-of Ashecounty.

C., DECEM A chill December evening, with the rain and snow forming a disagreeable sort of conglomeration on the sidewalks, the gaslighis at the corner flickering sul- lenly through the mist, and the wind taking one viciously as one came round the corner Not a pleasant evening to assume possession of a new home; but necessity knows no law, aud Mr. Bark- dale pat up his night key into the red brick bouse in the middle of the block, sincerely hoping that his new landlady would have common sense enough to light a fire in the grate. “Is it you, sir?” Mrs. Heman quoth, beamingly. ‘‘There’s a good fire, and it’s all right.”’ whether it had escaped being frozen off entirely. ‘Well, I’m glad to hear that. Have the trunks come ? “Oh, yes, sir, and the other things.” “What other things ?’’ demanded Mr. Barkdale. But Mrs. Heman pursed up her lips. “T wasn’t to tell, sir, please. “*Ratker an eccentric old lady,” thought Mr. Barkdale, pushing past ber to the third story front room, which he had solemnly engaged the day before. It had been ratber a dark and dingy little den by the light of the moon; but now, softened by the coral shine of a well filled grate, it wore quite another and a brighter aspect. “Velvet paper on the walls, gilt pavel- ing, red carpet, and a Sleepy hollow chair,’ thought Mr. Barkdale, glancing around. “Not so uncomfortable, after all. When I got my things anpacked, it will scem quite homelike.” He set his valise down in 4 corner, de~ liberately opened it, took out a pair of slippers and invested his tired feet there- iu. Next he laid off his overcoat. ‘Now for a cigar,” thought he. But the brown layered weed was yet in bis hand, when there was a bustle, and a flutter, and a whisper, and a merry noise on the landing outside, and the dour flew open as if by magic, to admit half a-dozen blooming, laughing girls. Mr. Barkdale dropped his cigar and re- treated a step or two. “Don’t be alarmed,” said the tallest and prettiest of the bevy; “it’s only a surprise.” our friend, recovering in some degree his preeence of mind. “There’s no mistake, I hope,” said a yellow tressed Llonde. ‘Your name is uot Greenfield ¢ “No mistako at all, I aseure you,”’ said Mr. Barkdale. “Ot course it is not Green- field. Sit down ladies.” And be pushed forward the Sleepy Hollow chair, a camp stool and two rhea- matic reception chairs, which were all the accommodations presented by lis apart- meovt. But instead of accepting his courtesy, the girls all fluttered out again, giggling, and in a second, before he could realize this strange condition of affairs, they were back again, bearing benches and a table- cloth, dishes bouquets, a pyramid of mac- caionies, piled up plates of sandwiches, a frorted cake and a mysterious something like unto an ice cream freezer. ‘The golden tressed girl clapped her hands. “You necdn’t think we are doing all this for you, sir,’’ ehe suid. “Oh,” said Mr. Barkdale, bashfully, “J—I—hadn’t any such impression.” “T's all a surprise, designed for Kate’s cousin,” ‘And how do you suppose we tound it all out ?” demanded the tall girl with her black eyes and scarlet feather in her hat. “T haven’t the least idea.” “We found your letter to Kate, and we girls read it, and we resolved to take you and her by surprise. She is to be here in half an hour. Barbar—that is Barbara Morris, in the blue merino dress, (turning her loug lashes toward the golden haired girl), pretends that she has moved here, and Kate is to come and spend the even ing with Barbara. Won't it be a joke?” “Stupendous,” said our hero, gradually beginuing to comprehend that be was mistaken for some one else. “What will Kate say when she sees you here ?” ejaculated another matdeu, merri- ly: “Ab, what indeed,’’ said Mr. Barkdale, wandering in what words he could best explain matters. “Very considerate of you, I am sure,” observed Mr. Barkdale. ““She’s the sweetest girl in all St. Louis,” exclaimed the tall dameel, enthusiastic: cally. “I am one of her dearest friends. We work our sewing machines side by side at Madame Grillard’s Hasn’t she ever written to you about Alice Moore?” “T—T don’t just at this moment recall that she has.” “Oh, well it doesn’t matter,” said Alice, “just sit down and bea good boy while we fix the tables. Aren’t those roses beautiful? My goodness gracious, how avtoniabed Kate will be!’ “She can’t be more so than I am,” said Mr. Barkdale, sinking iuto the Sleepy Hollow chair aud passing bis baudker- chief vaguely acrose his forehead. “Well, it’s a mere matter of fate; I cun’t see how I am to explain myself; and yet perhaps 1 ought to explain.

I said at the outset my name was not Greenfield.” ‘There!’ cried all the girls at once. There !” echoed Kate defiaatly. “Didn’t we tell you?” retorted Kate, “Be kind enough to let us kuow what your name is sir.”* ‘“‘Cephas Barkdale!”’ said the wretched victim of a misunderstanding. “But,” said Mizs Moore, “you said it was Nott Greenfield.” “Of course I did!’ said the puzzled batchelor, “It isu’t Greenfield, and it never will be unless I have it change by act of Legislature. “Obh-h!” cried the girls. “Dear, dear, to be sure.

So A recent writer gives an amusing account of a baby monkey: “He was a little bit of a fellow, about as large as a kitten, and had a tail ag long as his moth- er’s, but he looked very old in the face. When I first went to see him the mother monkey waa holding him in her arms, but presently he crawled to the floor, then out through the bars and upon my knee. I thought it strange that the mother was not afraid of losing it; but when I moved my hand to stroke it, back went the little monkey, swift as a dart into his mother’s arms. Pretty soon he crawled away again and then I saw that the mother monkey had hold of the tip of his tail with her fingers, avd as the little oue crawl- ed away from her she let him go as far as che could reach, but never let go of hia tail; aud when anybody moved a hand to touch him she pulled him back into thecage. She never seemed to relax thia hold by day or night till the little fellow was two months old, thea she let him go. But her mother instincts were very mark- ed even then, ‘The cage contained a ‘happy family’ of dogs, cats, monkeys, aud guinea pigs, sleeping in one box together, so when the littl monkey erept- out of hie mother's arms she would: rea down into the box and take up a little puppy, or kitten, or guinea pig, and nurse and fondle it just ae though it were ber own.

We see that a movement is made in the Legislature to prevent usary —that is ex~ acting more interest thau the law allows. Heretofore we have entertained the opinion that no legislation ought to be had on the value of money—that money, like every otber article of commerce, was regulated by supply and demand; but recent years’ experience has taught the people many lessons on this question. ‘The moveyed monopoly has become av alarming evil—it is arrayed in opposition to labor aud tends to paralyee the indus- try of the country. ‘The rateg of iaterest Daw exacted by these mouey sh,locks are grevionsly outrageous, Money has teudered to the formation of little, contemptible rings about each town, who conspires against all men who the dinner from being late—keeps the’ wife from fretting when the husband tracka the newly-washed floor with his muddy bocts, aud makes the husband mindful of the scraper and door-mat—keeps the mother patient when the baby is cross, and keeps the baby pleasant—amuees tlie children as well as inatracts them—wine as well as governs—projects the honey-~ moon into the harvest moon, and the hap- py hours like the Eastern fig tree, bearing in its bosom at once the beauty of the tender blossom and glory of the ripened fruit, We want a religion that bears not only on the “sinfuloess of sin,’’ but on the raecality of lying and stealivg—a religion that baniales small measures from the counters, sand from sugar, cbicory from coffee, beet juice from vinegar, alum from bread, lard trom butter, and water from milk caus. ‘The religion that is to ad- vance the world will not put all the big strawbeiries aud peaches on top, and all the Lad ones at the bottom, It will uot make oue balf of a pair of shoes of foe leather, and “the other of poor leather, 8o that the first shall redound to the maker's credit aud the second to his cash, It will not let a piece of velvet that professes to measare twelve yards come to an untimely end iu the tenth, or a spool of sewing silk that vouches for tweuty yarde be nipped in the bud at fourteen and a half, nor the cotton thread spool break to the yardstick fifty of the two hundred of promise that was given to the eye—unor all wool delaives and all linen handkerebiefs be amalgamated with clan- destine cotton sage pressed togetber to be suld to the unsuspecting public for legal broadcloth, It-does not make window-blinds with slats that canuot stand the wind, and paint which cannot stand. the sun, and fastenings which may be lvoked at but ou no acevunt be touched. ‘The religion that is to sanctify the world pay its debts. .

Charles Warren Stoddard, writing to the San Francisco Chronicle of the crater of Vesuvius, says: “We all stuffed our Kandkerehiefs into our mouths, held our noses, and stepped up on the very rim ofthe cone. One side wags yawning chasm, so filled with vapor that I saw oothing ; on the other was the precipi- tous slope ef the mountain, down whieh it was-easy to cast one's self and slide for two or three handred feet witbout much effort. In a few moments we had passed the fiery or smoky ordeal, and, coming around the windward side of the cone, we breathed once more the delicious air of the morning. We sould now approach the crater with ease and look far down iuto its hideous—nay, its beau- tiful depthe. It is very beautiful. The ioner walla are thickly coated with sulphur, and a Pompeiian fresco is not more briliant or bar- mouious than the rich and splendid greens and reds and yellows that there combine to decorate this temple of the furies. Sudden puffs of wind sometimes wafted the great clouds that were constantly ascending from the pit high over our heads, and the sun charging the sulphurous streams with light, a ghastly gluom was thrown for a moment over everything. We heard the commotion of the elewent beneath us ; it was as though the pit were half filled with fat, frying and sizzling ; the air was heavily charged with sulpharous gases; we felt the heat ot the very ground we stood on threagh the soles of our boots; in many places we evald not touch our hand to the rocks without blister- ing it. Close by was a hole in the side, a jutting point of lava. into which ove of the guides iutroduced, without the aid of his stuff, a large roll of paper, which no sooner touched the spot than it burst into flames; the end of his stick iguiting ina few seconds, yet no flames issuea from the fiery furnace. The boy brought me a small bit of lava, at whieh I lighted my cigar."’ —_— oOo (From the Ohio Farmer. ] ROTATION. ‘A judicious rotation of crops is absolutely necessary in maintaining the fertility of the soil. This needs no demonstration, for it is universally admitted. But how to rotate, tu secure the greatest advantages, is the main question. No spécific esn be given to suit every case, because “circumstances alter cxses’’ very inuch in regard to this point. The systein that would sacceed on one farin would utterly fail iu another, and vice versa. —Governed by genera! principles, the farin- er inust decide this matter for himself. Eac:: crop extracts from the soil the elements essential to ite growth and maturity, and by continuous cropping. however judicious the rotation may be. the svil will eventually be | exhausted. Hence the elements extracted | tnust be retorved tu the soil in the shape of fertitizers.—This settles ove pvint—that farmers must keep stock, aud the nearer they cume tu keeping stock enough to consume what their farias produce, the nearer they come tu the most improved eulture. The most usual rotativa is from the sod —ceru, gata, or barley, wheat, and then grass. uj goud svil two crops of wheat can be grown. clover being sown on the first, in the spring, which will furnish one crop, and.dne to plow ander for second erup of wheat. on pasture lands. A ipent agricalturist recommends the fullowing six years’ rotation: First year. corn, putatoes and roots, with grvund heavily manared ; second ; oats ; third, clover ploughed in and sowed with wheat io the fall; then timothy and cloyer sowed on the wheat to the spring of the fourth year; then let it lie in grass two years. Other systems of rotation have their ad- suited to the surrounding cireum- stances of evil, climate, ect. Ia what dis- triets, where the svil rests on liinestone or plaster, a simple rvtation of clover two years and wheat one. is fuand to be goud, always premisiug that plenty of manure is retarned to the evil. .

THE NEGRO WAR, In aud around Vicksbarg the uegroes latgely predominate. They out number the. whites, nearly twote one. They are quite insolent and frequently get up valde and rews. They think themeelves mésters of the situation, and they have attempted on more than one vccasion to aspert. their supremacy. But this, of course, the whites will not sabmit to, and théy resent the insolance of the negroes on érery occasion, and theugh the whites are greatly outnumbered, they never fail to-inflict severe punishment upen their assailants. Jtis stated that the recent riot at Vicksburg resalted in the death of about ahundred and fifty negroes and dozen or so whites, his isthe way it hes always been and always will be while the world.stands, The African is nomateb forthe Anglo Saxon or white race, and it is strange that he wont see it. But the poor negroes at Vickaburg were not Yo-blame. They were led to slaughter by the cowardly carpet baggers and riotous seafawags of that section. The negroes wonld be peaceablo and quiet if they would not heed the seansels of mean~ whites who are constantly getting them in trouble. ee The Legislature is still holding on. The great measures most desired, or of most importance to the people, have not yet been enzeted, or agreed upon: such as thé settlement of the State debt, the pas- sage of a Usury law, the enactment of a Dog law, and the calling of a Convention. Hardly any one believes the Legislature etpable of settling the debt question, and fog this reasoa it was expected that a Con- vention wonld becalled at once, ‘Phere have been several bills introda- eed looking to the settlement of the pnb- lie Gebt, but we think it very questionable whether any of them should become a law. .

Evitor :—It is now more than three months sjoce I have had the pleasure of peep- ing over the columns of a North Carolins jour- nal, and I must confess that my thoughts are cpon the things in the good ‘‘old North State.” Many of the associations of tke past bring themselves upto my mind, and I ain almost ready to exclaim, Take me home to the place where I first sew the light,”* but fate has decreed other- wise, and [ have come thither to cast iny lot with *‘Maryland, My Maryland.” This State is, in many respects, far ahead ofthe ‘told North State,” and especially in ed- ucatiou ; fur each county here has its thorough- ly orgarized schools, aud they are taught by experienced and competent teachers. Each sehpo! is supplied with books fur its pupils at the expense of the county, and when I tell your readers that this expense amounts to thousands of dollars per anoum, excluding the salaries of teachers, they will be surprised ; forin my time J] have never known a single county in North Caroling that ever paid out tor its whole Public Schou! Money, one-half as much as the weak - est county in this State does for books alone. They have their schools graded in some counties here, and Iam iuformed tbe sys- tem work exceedingly well. Why cannot the same be saul of North Carolina ? The farms, in this sectiun of Marylaud, are extremely well cultivated, and present a inost luxuriant appearance, and the barns are palaces to many of the farmhouses in your own State. If the farmers of North Carolina were as careful of thefr farms as they are here, there would be much more thrift and prosperity among her people. I an) far from casting any reflection upon the good peuple of my old home, but it doea seein to ine that they have got a kiad of ‘don’t care’ about them which ought to be thrown aside. and rise up and go to work and beautify their homes, their farms, and the rich and fertile vales which surround them. ‘There is no State in the Union which bas so any natural advantages as North Carolina, and why not go to work and make it the garden spot of the land. It can be dune, and with a littleof that “I will” pat in practice, it wil be dune. Politically, thig State is not much better off than your own now, although fur many years North Garoljna has been under the ban ; but now, she is safe, and with good and true men at the helm, she will, ere Jonz. be the same old solid and unswerving Demo- cratic State that she was in days gone by— with sach meu as Graham, Vance. Robbius, Ashe. Waddell, etc., to steer the ship of State, she will never fall again into the hands of the despots and theives, who have sucked the very life-blood from her veins.

A Great Hog-SLaussterixa Es- TABLISHMEXT.—An eastern vigilur to -Judianspolis gives the fullowing account ofa hogrslaughicring eatablishmeut ia that city ; “Why, just think of it, [ndianapolis bas one pork factory which manufactures a huge hog into placid pork in two min- ntes by the watch.

Whole floors of an immense building sre devoted +o the slaughtering process, others to cur- ing, and others atill to the storing of pork in freezing cold gpartmeuyts, where the coldest of cold air is manufactured to or- der.

To this fact fe attributes, ia a large measure, the wo:i- drous epidemics ot the middle ages, which cut off one-fourth of the population of Europe—the spotted plague, the black death, the sweating siekaess and the ter- rible mental epidemice which followed io their train —the dancing mania, the mew- Be earls, the biting mania and witch« craft. ee e A Banta Rosa, Cal., paper tells a story which shows that a elance dog has more soul than some men.

Enniss, Publisher and Bookseller, Raleigh, N. C., a copy of this Alinanac for 1875. It is a most coin- plete compsudium of useful information. There is no publication of the kind that eontains so mich information of general in- terest to the publie. It is more accurate than the others, and is gotten up especially for the people of North Carvliva, and if the present high standard is maintained it is destiued to supersede all others. The Wavigation of the Wadkin is again talked of, and we understand that the company oow formed or forming for the pur- pose is determined to sueceed if the Legis- ture will grant a charter. It is estimated by competent judges and engineers that 250.000 will be sutficieat to open the River from the N. GC. Railroad bridge to 15 or 20 miles above Wilksboro.

The disadvan-~ tages and annoyance to be encountered by the employ ment of inexperienced labor exclusively, must be apparent to all, but we patiently submit to these for the reasons given above, and feel thankfull that we are able to get along so well. Oar boys ate all quite young and all have widowed mothers, and they are struggling honestly and faithfully, aa all good boys will, to belp their mothers and we feel proud of them, and.only wish we could help them more. They bave bad little or no educational advantages other than those of the printing office, yet we hazzard nothing in saying that they are as well, if not better, informed on all pub- lic mattere as any | ve of their age iu the town; their store of general information is better, they can spell better, arrange words iuto sentences with more ease and beauty, understand their duties as. boys to their mothera and as citizens more fy, and devote themselves to these dysies with a better grace and a higher appreciation of their responsibilities than the large majority of boys.

The necessity of a popular medium for the tation of the actions of our great GOING NORTH. in this country to establish an art urnal, did not prove the indifference of the THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated aiter it is bound up at the close ofthe year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar-elass, THE ALDINE iso unique and original conception—alone and un- approached —absolutely without competition in price or character, Theipossessor of a com plete volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for len times ils cost; and then, there is the chromo, besides. The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. ‘True art is cosmo- politan, While THE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productiops of the moat noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign scurces. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with SHE ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersior. of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, in:possible where the scope of the work confines the artist too closely to a single style of subject. The literature of TAL ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisittons us do not interfere with the popular interest of the work. PREMIUM FOR 1875.

We shall not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old standard, but to improve and add to its variety and power. THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to bea thorough newspaper. All the news of the, day will be-found in it, condensed when unimpor- tant, atfull length when of mument, and always, we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and in structive manner. It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN the best family newspaper in the world. It will be full of entertaining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing to offend the most scrupulous and delicate’ taste. It will always contain the most intesgsting stories and ronrances of the day, careftubly select- ed and legibly printed. The Agricultural Department is a prominent feature in the WEEKLY SUN. and its arti- cles will always be found fresh and useful to the farmer. The number of men independent in politics is increasing, and the WEEKLY SUN is their paper especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictation, contending for principie, and for the election of the best men, It expo- ses the corruption that disgraces. the country. and threatens the overthrow of republican in- stitutions. It has no fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their supporters. The markets of every kind and the fashions are regularly reported in its columns. The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a year fora sheet cf eight pages, and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays the ex- penses of paper and printing, we are not able to make any discount or allow any premium to friends who may make special efforts to exteud its circulation. Under the new law, which reqnires payment of postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the rate of subscrip- tion. It is not necessary to get up a club in order to have the WEEKLY SUN at this rate. Anyone who sends one dollar and twenty cents will get the paper, post-paid, for a year. We have no traveling agents.

For the want of just such a law as this there are thosanda upon thous nds of dol- lars worth of property sacrificed annually in this State, and hundreds of victims are robbed py combination of a few moneyed men who keep posted and by previous arrangement amongst themselves buy up such property ag they consider worth holding, at their own figures, because, with the ridiculous mode of giving wotice in practice pow, not one person in a han- dred of the people iu the neighborhood knows anything of the sale. We ask the question, if any member of the Legislature were compelled to sell his estate at public sale whether he would be satisfied with sticking a written notice on the Court house door and some cross roads, or whether he would not endeavor to give it the greatest publicity that it might draw bidders and sell to the best advan- tage ?. Of course he would do the latter, as every man of sense would. If he would do so io his own case why not do the same for those of his ‘fellow citizens who have been overtaken by adversity,- and whose welfare it is his duty while acting in a legislative capacity to guard 7 Let any Sheriff be asked, and we'll venture that he will pronounced the pres- ent ridiculous mode of making such no- We have known land sold within a few miles of this place for one-tenth its value, because the fact of the sale was not pub- licly known, ai.d we have seen the same thing in other localities. It is of almost daily occurrence. It is a matter in which the public are interested, and which every one who has thoughts of it at all acknowledges the ne- cessity of, and why, we repeat, it meets with any objections from men of sense, is beyond our comprehension. If the Legielature fails to pass it, it will fail in a duty it owes to the public.-- Greensboro Patriot. The General Assembly, during the past four or five years, has passed a thousand private bills, ostensibly to reduce the puab- lic expeuse, and yet all the bills passed to redyce the public expenses and benefit the people wil] never result in such lasting benefit and geucral good as would a bill to require all sheriffs, agents, azsignees, or persons acting as guardians for other parties, to advertise all property to be eold by them liberally and well in che newsparers of the county, and in other ways, before selling. All public affaire, county and municipal, Boards should be required to publish in the same manner full reports of receip's and disbursements, and other business transacted by them, As matters stand now the people’s busi- ness is two moch ander the control of a few men; and widows, and orphans and ignorant men are cheated out of thousands of dollars in every county every year for the want of a Jaw requiring proper notice to be given before property in which théy are interested is sold. It {s a crying evil in the land that no one can fail to realize who wil] take the trouble to examine. © . —_———_ >> “Light trowers should be worn only in the imorning,” says a fashion exchange’ \“and “dark rowers for semi.dress.” Things have lately been getting sv mix- ed that we may be pardored for inquiring Ttirbing the coffe, igh | oP Lmigy, Deaf?

It Ypade thew sa uncomfortable while the variance lasted, and ridiculous when all was discovered to be a-miatake; that Annette fonnd capi-> tal fun in it. But nothing afforded her quite so much amusement as getting up what she called “harmless quarrels” be- tween lovers, That. in ber estimation, sere the climax of enjoyment. ot that Annette was malicious or wicked. She would bave shrunk from intentionally doiug harm to any one. She was merely thoughtless. With all | ber fondness of wischiet, she could be a true frieud, aud such she was to Nora Griffith, who had come to epend a month with Annette, who had been her school- mate,and trom whom Nora had no secrete ~ not even her engagement with Justin Grey. The current of Nora and Justiu’s love had run 80 smooth that Annette half. blamed herselt that nothing had occurred to ripple its surface. Such a courtship, she felt, mast be quite insipid ; hence she resolved todo something to break its mono- tony. This, she deemed a mere act of friendship. Lovers’ happiest moments are when they “make up;’ bat how are they to “make up” it they never quarrel? A little tiff between Nora and Justin, from Annette’s standpoint, was essential to their complete felicity, Aonette’s plau was siuple and soon ma- tured, On her lisé of friends was a young geutleman of pleasing manners, agreeable person, moderate capacity, aud unbound- ed admiration of the sex. He decmed it every womau’e due to be paid court to, and every man’s daty to accept her decision without complaint. Such, in bricf, was Percival Blythe, whom Annette lost no time in introducing to her friend, confident that he would not be elow to improve the new opportunity thus thrown in his way. Nor were Annette’s expectations at all disappointed ; though Percival had tact enough to avoid giving alarm by proceed- ing too rashly at first. He wasa_ politely attentive, but did uothing to lead Nora to suepect that recciving his atteutions, she was doing aught inconsistent with her engagement to Juatiu Grey. A fashionable ball was to come off, and Annerte so managed that Perviyal waa to be Nora’s cacort--an arrangement! to whieh the latter readily consented, for Mr. Blythe wae altogether the most-agreeabte gentie= man she had met sisce her visit to An- nette, and if she must go to the ball, she preterred going with bim, Now for Aunette’s plot. It was to wiite a letter to Justin Grey inviting him to the ball, intimate that Nora and herself had talked the matter over, aud hinting that Nora, though dy- ing to see him, and longing for his pre- sence on the coming occasion, had hesita- ted to ask him away from hia business to gratify what be might regard as a girlish whim. “Whenee,” coutinued Annette,” “I have taken it upon myself to urge you to come. You cau take the afternoon train and be here in time; and the morning train will take you back in season for that provoking business of yours about which Nora makes such a mighty bother. I need not mention how agreeably eurprieed she will be to see you, nor make use of further persuasion to induce your coming, Knowing, as you now do, Nora’s wishes it would be akin to rudeness uot to respect them.” Anvette gave the letter to her Uncle George in whose house she dwelt, to put in the post, and kept her own counsel, “What a nice little breeze there'll be,’’ she churckled to herself, ‘when Justin | comes and finds Nora all ready to go to the ball with Percival Blythe, and that gentleman doing his killingest to make an impression 7 Won't there be a ecene ! | Annette waited patiently for the even- ing ot the ball.

There was an old couple who earned a poor living, working bare day in the fields. “See how hard we work all day,’ said the wife, “and it all comes of the foolish cariositv of Adam and Eve. If it had not been for that, we should have been living now in a beautiful garden, with nothing to do all day long.” Yea,’ said the hasband; ‘If you and I had been there, instead of Adam and Eve, all the human family had been in para~ diae.’’ The Count, their masters, overbeard them talking in this way, aud he came to them and eaid : “How would you like it if I took you into my palazzo there, to live, and gave you servants to wait on you, and plenty toeatand drink?” “Ob, that: would be delightful indeed! That would be as ‘good as paradise itselfl’ answered husband and wife together. ‘Well, you nay come up there, if you think ao. Only remember, {no paradise there was one tree that was not to be touched ; so at my table there will be one dish no: to be touched. You musn’t mind that,’ said the Count. “Oh, of course not,’ replied the old peasaat; “that’s juet what I say when Eve had all the froits in the garden, what did she want with just that one, that was forbidden 1 Aud if we who are used to the sca'itiest victuala, are supplied with enough to live well, what does it matter to us whether there is an extra dish or not on the table?” “Very well reasaned,’ said the Count. “We quite uuderstand each other, theul’ “Pertecily,’ replicd both husbaud aud wife. “You come to live at my palace, and baye everything you can want there, 60 lovg .8 you dou't open one dish, which there will be in the centre of the table It yor open that, you go baek io your former way of life.” “We quite understand,’ answered the carxant. S The Connt went in and called his eer- vant, aud told him to give the peasants dinner; in the middle of the table was to be an earthern dish, into which he was to put a little bird alive, so that if one lifted the cover, the bird would fly out. He wae to stay in the room and wait on them, and report to hin what happened. ‘The old people eat duwn to dinner, and praised everythiug they saw, so delightful iv all seemed. “Look ! that’s the dish we’re not to touch,’ evid the wife. “No; better not look at it,’ said the husband. “Pshaw! There’s no danger of wanting to open it when we haye such a lot of dishes to eat our fill out of,” retarned the wite. So they set to and made such a repast as they had never dreamed of before. By degrees, however, as the novelty of the thing wore off, they grew more and more desirous for something newer and newer still. though wheu they at first sat dowa it seemed that two dishes would be ample to sutivfy them, they had vow seven or eight, and they were wishing there might be others coming. ‘There is av end to all things haman, aud no others came. There only remained the earthern dish in the widdle of the table. “We will just lift the lid up a little wee bit,’ said the wife. “No; don’t talk aboat it,’ said the bus- band. The wife sat atill for five minutes, and then she said. “It one just lifted up one corner of the lid, it would scarcely be called opening it, you know.’ “Better leave it alone, altogether, not think about it at all,’ The wife sat still another five minutes, and she said: “If one peeped in just the least in the werld, it would not be any barm surely, and { should 0 like to know what can the Coant have put in that dish. “I am sure I can’t guess in the least,’ said the husband, and I mast say I can’t see what it can signify to him if we did at it.’ Shine that’s what I think, aud berides, how would Le know if we peep in? It would not hurt bim, said the wife. “No, as you say, one could just take a look,’ suid the husband, The wife did not waut more encourage~ meut than that. But when she lifted one side of the lid the least mite, she could see nothing. She opened it the least mite more and the bird-flew out, The servant ran and told his mastef, and the Count came down and drove them out, bidding them never to comp!ain of Adam and Eve any more.

In our excited American life, sound nerves are a ecarcity. Human sympathy in the casé we mention amouuts to nothing.— Your friends luagh at you and say that you have “the blues, or “the high strikes,” or “the fidgets,” or “the dumps.” But Christ never laughs at the whims, the no tions, the conceits, the weaknesses of the nervously disordered. Christ probably suffered in the same way, for he fad lack of sleep, lack of reat, lack of right food, lack pfiabalior and under thie hia finely strung temperament must have become (as we say) nervous. Chronic complaints—rheamatism, pneu- ralgia, dispepsia—cease to excite haman sympathy. But with Christ they never become au old story. He is as sympa- thetic aa when you felt the first twinge of inflamed muscle, or the first pang of indi- gestion. When you can not sleep, Chiiat keeps awake with you. All the paine you ever had iu your head are aot equal to the pains Christ had in his head. All the acute sufferings you ever had in your feet are not equal to the acute suffering Chri-t had iv bis feet. By his own hand he fashioned your every bone—strang every nerve, grew every eyelash, set every tooth in ita socket, and your every physi- cal disorder is patent to Him and touches bia sympathies. pe Some Op Crrigs.—Ninevah was fourteen miles long, eight miles wide, and forty-aix miles round, with a wall 100 feet high and thick enough for three char- iots abreast. Babylon was fifiy miles within the walls, which were seventy-five Feet thick and 100 feet bigh, with 100 brazen gates. ‘The Temple of Dianab at Ephesus wae 420 feet to the eupport of the rvof--it was 100 years in building. “The largest of the pyramids was 481 feet in height and 853 feet on the sides. The base covered eleven acres. ‘The stones are about sixty feet in length, and the layers are 208.

Lhe Temple of Delphos was so rich in donas , tion that it was plundered of $50,000,000, ‘and the emperor Nero carried from it 200 statutes. The walls of Rome were thir- teen miles arourd. | -_> Sor A Youne Stave.—A young man writes: ‘When ill, two years ago, my physician gave me opium, and, not recov- ering health, being unable to sleep I con- tinued the use of the drug, till new <I cannot quit i,” without it, | become almost delirions.

STaTv£ OF THE GREAT STONEWALL. —The statué of Stonewall Jackson, exe- cuted by the late Mr. Foley, the well known English sculptor, for the city of Charleston, is now nearly completed at the Manor foundry at Chelsea, near Lon- dou. ‘The General is represented as standing with a drawn broadeword in his right hand. The hand rests on the sword hilt and the point of the weapon ia placed upon a piece of rock at the side of the figure. He wears a horseman’s short tunic, girt by a broad belr, and buttoned close on the chest, and lose trowsers witb riding boots.

The Missions Catholiques publishes the following letter from Mgr. Puginieri Viear Apostolic to Eastern Tong+King :—“I hasten to thank you for the interest you bave manifested in our cause by pablish- ing several articles on the persecution of Tong-Long. The readers of the Missions oe muat have been touched by the terrible misfortunes of our Christians, — will not have omitted to ask the Di- vine Master to restore peace and progper- ity to His Charch ia China. We ak much upon the prayers of the Catholic world. I will not conceal from you that I consider that the present feat ful erieie in Tong-King will prove eventually very favarable to the Catholic religion. God will hear the prayers of our martyrs. The massacres of Ubristians and the pillagi and burning of their villages commence in my mission, aud thence spread into that of Mgr. Gauthier. How can I ever describe to ycu the horrors we bave wit- nessed, and which we were utterly ana- ble to prevent! The litterati, freed from all restraint, excited by love of pillage and drank with blood, abandoned all restraint, and their wrath knew no bounds. Armed with lances, guns, and even can- none, they threw themselves, followed by namerous bands of lawless men, upon the Christian villages, none of which were strong enough to defend themselves. They killed men, women and children withoat distinction, sparing neither those who asked for pity nor thoee who refused todo so. A schoolmaster seeing the lit- lerati coming, took refuge in church, and there, prostrate before the altar, iraplored the mercy of God. The murderers ar- rived. They seized him in the sanctuary and scalpéd him. He still eontinued to pray, and they at last cat his head off. Among them were several old men, wo- men, girls and even children. Three priests, 20 missionary students and 10 catechiste or scholars ot Mgr. Gauthier met withthe same fate. About 70,000 Christians, in doth missions, were totally ruined and dispersed. ‘che majority were killed in the sack of the villages ; many were ordered to apostatize, and, on refusing to do 80, condemned to death. A great many are still hidden in the mountains, living there on roots and herbs. Others have taken refuge with pagan fiiends. Over 30 presbyteries, 200 churches, 300 villages, coutaining 14,000 families, and 10 convents of Ans namite nuns have been pillaged and burn- ed. The material logs to the missions is over 400,000 francs, and that of the Chrietians excecds 15,000,000 francs. The labor before us is immense. We have, first of all, to bring the dispersed Christians back to their villages, and they are neatly naked and without money. Moreover, their houses being burned we shall have to help to rebuild them. I estimate that each miasion will require at least 300,000 fraucs to put it to rights, and where are we to get the money ? We trust in Providence, and entreat the aid of God through the intereeasion of His latest martyre,”’ : 7 ——_ + Tne Rev. John Murray, the founder of the Universalist churches in the United States, began bis ministry in Gloucester, Maes., on Nov. 3, 1774. On Nov. 3, 1874, the hundredth return of that day | was celebrated in that town with much enthusiasm. Thechurch was decorated with flowers and leaves, and an old barrel organ, the first uscd by the congregation, was placed near the pulpit. a + EEO SLAUGHTER OF T'nteves.—A few nights since, a farmer living in Charles county, Maryland. near the St, Mary's line, was awakened by the furions barking of bis dog, and when. taking his gun and opening the door of his hoase, he beheld an object sus- pended in the air, uear his corn-house. he fired and a man fell tothe ground. Three nogro men were engaged in stealing bis corn, aud for this purpose a lever had been put under the corn-house. The man killed sat on the end of the leaver, which enabled the other two men tu enter the house aud pat out the corn. As ite inan fell the lever dropped. aud the house fell upon the two men, killiag them both. ———-+>-——_ A FaitTouFuL GOVERNMENT AGENT.— Dr. J. J.

Sabu WO boy, XC. bee eet, ds cetieal Prospectus -for 4875 Bay b THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, “2 Magn ficent C.nte foe Wonderfully carried out.’ ry <4°,24 “prev? 4 3 » The necessity of atpopular mediam for ‘the representation of the productions of our great and" many” attemps have been made to meet the want, The snecessive fuilures which soinvairably followed euch attempt inthis country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America ta the claims of high art, So svon as a proper appreciation of the want and an ability to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiusm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and commer- cial triumph--THE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timey interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and cefu] literature; and a cullection of pictures, = rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Alihough each succeeding number affurds a fresh pleasure tu its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be Most appreciated aiter it is bound up at the close ofthe year. While other publications nday Claim superior cheapness, as compas ed with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE iss unigue and original conception—alone and uo- approached—absvlutely without competition in price or character, The possessor of a complete volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times tls cost; and then, there is the chromo, besides. The national feature of THH ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmo- politan, While THE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itwelf entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productions of the most noted American artiste, attention will al- ways be given to specimens trom foreign mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with THE ALDINE, ia an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersios ef landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the seope of the work confines the artist too closely to a single style of subject, The literature of THE ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work. PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receivea bean tiful portrait, in oil colors, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue attracted so wuch aitenijon. Unselfish Friend” will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is executed sO true to the life, that it reems the veritable presence of the animalitself. The Rey. T.

As a body it is re- ‘garded here with special favor True it con- tains few wh»ean claiin much experience an! comparatively few who have the vener able dignity of age, still its wnaterial averages well. The inembers have been industrious and patriotic. They have done their best under their great, their insurmountable difficulties. They have been singularly exemplary in their babits. I have not heard of a single instance of intoxication amoung them since they assembled. They are pro- bably the most moral body that bas met in the Capitol since it was erected. They show more respect to God and his winisters in the daily prayers than any of the Legis- latures of which I ain iuformed. Nothing could be more gratifying to wise constituents than to know that their representatives are God-fearing and conscieutious. If the majority be liable to special criticism at all. it is probably iu their hesitant conduct on the ground of “What will be the effect ou the party?” It is feared that there is a little too much of that spirit. The faithful public servant regards the claims of his country far above the idea of party.

Mr. Moreheid stated that shy ought nat to ask the Supreme Court for any opinion, as in his opinion that Court would not and ought not to express an fore it. He did not belieye that the amendment of the Conatitntion by the Leg- ielative method was practicabl -—its pro- vieions were #0 vague, conflicting and in- definite, that the Supreme Conrt could not agree as to i's proper construction. There had already in six years, been more qnes- tions of construction’ before the Suprenie Court than there had been as to the other Conatitutions of the State since it waaa colony.

On motion of Mr Latham, both resola- tions were referred to the Committee on Constitutional Reform. We heartily concur in the positions taken by Mr. Morehead. We can see no propriety in these repeated. calls by the Legislature upon the Supreme Court. If the action of the Legislature is to be shaped by these extra judicial opinions of Judges Pearaon. Reade, Rodman and others, it will save much time, labor and expense if they will, at the beginuing of each session of the Legislature put forth a echedule of what they think may be done and what may not be done. To us it seems a clear if not an unwarranted opinion, unless upon a case regularly be-|- good deal behind the age, and will pro- bably become wiser beforé he shuffles off this mortal coil altogether.

THE oT DINE, While issued with all the reguiarity, has none of the temporary or limely interest characteristic Of ordinary periodicals It‘is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, im black and white. Ahhough each succeeding number affords a tresh pleasure tou its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will*be most appreciated aiter it is. bound up at the close ofthe year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is o unique and original conception—alone and un- approached—absvlately without competition in price or character, ‘The possessor of a complete volume cafi not duplicate the quantity of tine paper and engravings in any other shape or nutober of volumes for ten times its cost; and then, there ta the chromo, besides. The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. ‘True art is cosmo- politan, While THE ALDINE is a atricily artista, hig hwy sttemps ee each ay journal mission is to cultivate a broad apd appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, ‘Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productiops of the most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas- tera, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The.artistic illustration of American scenery, original with TU ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate tu the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersior of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the arti«: too closely to a single style of subject. ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, wortby of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work PREMIUM FOR 1875.

Nov. 26th. 6 ta THE NEW FAMILY We claiw and can show that it isthe CHEAP- ext, most beautiful, delicately arranged, aicely tdjutsted, easily operated, and smoothly running otall the Family Sewing Machines. [tis re- warkable not only fur the range and variety of its sewing, but aiso for the variety and different kinds of texture which it will sew with equal facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen or cotton thread, fine or coarse, nuking the INTER- LOCK FD-ELASTIC-STITCH, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus, beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great streagth and uniformity of stitch; and, in a moment, this willing and never-wearying instrument may be adjusted for fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, o1 «ne tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or almost any other work which delicate fingers have been known to perform. . And with its simplicity of construction; ease of operation; uniformity of PRECISE action at any speed; capacity for range and variety of work, fine or coarse—learing all rivals behind it. We wirh pleasure refer the public to the Gold and Bronze Medals and Diplomas awarded to our Machines in America, Prussia, England, and recently in Austria at the Exposition in Vienna, where we were awarded five Medals, Merit, Pro- greas, and three for articles manufactured on our Machines. But it gives us much greater pleasure, to present to the public the sworn returns of sale, (to which any one can have sccess) of the difter- ent Manufacturers of Machines, for the last four years, made to the receiver appointed by the owners of valuable Sewing Machine Patents, and ‘| which shews the precise number of machines sold by each Company. 1869 1870 1871 1872 Ringer Mannfacting Co., 86.781 127 883 1°1,2°0 219 758 Whe le & Wilson do TR &HK 8.38 125.586 174.068 Howe Mactin.
