Shot. Mr McDougald, a lawyer, of Green

bullet wounds in an altercation with Messrs Kerr
and Rasberry at Snow Hill, N. C, on Saturda'
night the 25th, of which he died on Sunday morn-
Go it, Srepilators. The fall of New Or
leans into the hands of the enemy will have a ten
dency to lessen the supply of Sugar and Molasses,
and will give speculators a line opportunity to de
mand any price they please for those articles. If
the people would resolve to juit using sug;:r and
molasses for awhile it would have the effect of
leaving a huge rjuautity on the hands of heartless
and unfeeling speculators who are determined to
make money out of the war if the poor people
starve and the government is ruined.
Gknkrois Patriotism. In this day of trial
and peril, it is refreshing to hear of instances of
generous and disinterested patriotism like the fol
lowing: A gentleman called on the Secretary of
the Treasury a few day .ince and handed him a
bag of gold, as a donation to the Government,
upon the express condition that his name should
be known to no one but the Secretary. Lpou
counting the gold, it was found to amount to one
thou -and dollars. Ricli nioml Empiii t r.

Personal. The train from Lynchburg, yester
day afternoon, brought down Mrs. Win. G. Rrown
low and family, Mrs. Sue C Sawyers, (daughter
of Wm. G. Erownlow) and child, and Mrs. Horace
Maynard and family of East Tennessee, in charge
of Lieut. Joseph II. Speed, of the liUt h Alabama
Regiment. 1 hey took rooms at the Rollirigbrook
Hotel last night and will leave for the North this
morning, via Norfolk and Old Point, to join their
respective husbands. Wo understand that though
Messis Erownlow and Maynard have shown such
unaccountable hostility to the South and its cause,
these ladiis are firmly attached to the Confedera-
cy. i itrrauii ij j.ijress, April Jem.
The House which is to succeed the present one
may be of a conservative democratic complexion.
Vehement denunciations are uttered here
against General Eurnside on account of his refusal
to harbor and protect fugitive slaves. We have
reports from army officers employed on the South
ern coast to the effect that the slaves who come
within their lines in numbers are great nuisances.
The costly expeditions are failures so far as open

The colonization clause was of no account what
ever. Every one knew that the negro when freed
would remain just where ho had been left unless
removeJ coiupulsorily, and it was only intended to
catch votes that could not be got otherwise. It
would be hard to make Southern men believe that
interference with slavery was not intended, spite
of general declarations, when they had passed a
resolution to induce States to emancipation; had
abolished slavery in the District of Columbia;
had repealed the disqualification of colored per
sons for carryiii'r the mails, and had adopted an
article of war prohibiting those iu the military
service from delivering a fugitive slave, refusing
to insert therein a provision against their harbor
ing or aiding slaves to escape. There was great
complaint it a single negro was restored to his
master, but slaves might be taken off by the hun
dred from their masters through the aid of the
military, and there was no complaint, though they
be taken from loyal masters I'mler the bill, any-
petty magistrate, any mere military lieutenant,
