We repeat, if there is fiidfrice that any in dividual or individuals contemplate violating the peace, Irt it be known and let the person or per sotis be arrested forthwith. We assure Gov. Ilolden and Gen. Miles that no uruis have been brought to this place that cannot be legitimately accounted for. There have been about two dozen common shot guns brought here for sale, and a few pistols. A number of axes with handles have been brought here iii gun Vioxes, because they were sold as govern ment axes and put up in gun boxes. We are particular in st.iting these facts for the information of Gen. Miles and Gov. Ilolden. And we also inform those offi cers that prominent Republicans here will endorse our statements. Executive Depautmh UTMKNT, er 7, 18G8. j Raleigh, Octob (!it. Xrfcon A. JVfjt, Commanding, dV. . Sir : I have information that arms have been iinirted into this State, and distributed among members of a certain political organization. These arms are not of the ordinary character for fp uting or hunting purposes, but repeating rifles, such as are used in war. I have official information that a box of En tiekl rifles has been found secreted in Newbern. I learn also that boxes of arms have been shipped to Charlotte, and to points west of that place. 1 have also learned that arms have beeu re ceived and distributed in and around Wilming ton.. It is known that trius are in the hands of J'crsons iu that city and the surrounding country i'a character to leave the impression that they "re to be used i'or purposes hostile to the Govern ment and to the peace of society. I have deemed it my duty to inform you of Iheso facts, aud to request you so to distribute the troops under your command as to afford the i;real.e.t aid practicable to the civil authorities iu maintaining the peace. I trust that troops will l.'e at once sent to Wilmington, aud to other points in ihe State. It is my fixed purpose to maintain he peace and to protect and maintain the State Government by all the means I can command. The people were surprised and hurried into war, iu 1SG1, agaiust their will. The authorities owe it to the people, to the Government, and to them selves to see to it that similar steps are not al lowed to be taken now. The gre.it body of our people are averse to violence and war. They want peace. They must have it. Those who may engage in war, c r who may resort to vio lence to gain political ends, or to take vengcauee on any portion of their fellow-citizens, will be held to strict account and severely punished. In the event of a conflict the civil authorities, having first exhausted their power to preserve the peace, will call at once ou the Federal mili-t-'n y ; and I have written this to notify you in advance of my purpose in this respect. I feci sure of your aid in any emergency to the extent t' which it cau be given under the orders you have received. 1 have the honor to be, .very respectfully, W. W. HOLDEN. IIe.vdq'rs District of North Carolina,") Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 9th, 1868. f Governs W. W. JlolJen: &r: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 7th inst., requesting that troops may be sent to Wilming ru, N. 0., aud stating that yrju have official in- formation that a lot of Enfield rifles - has been found secreted in Newbern, also that you have reason to believe that arms have been sent to Charlotte, X. C. and several other points, &c. I have forwarded jour letter to Gen. JVIeade for ins miormation. I have received reliable reports, legally sub stantiated, that several Hundreds of Henry and Spencer rifles (many of theui sixteen shooters) with accoutrements, &c, complete, have been received at Wilmington and thence distributed to organizations in this State, styling themselves "Seymour and JJIair Ulubs, and 4-K. K. K V rrom other points officers report similar move ments, the object of which ha a as yet not been made public These facts have also been re ported to the Department Commander and I have no doubt he will take proper r.ction in the matter. While, therefore, these occurrences give rise to questions which may possibly produce serious results, still, action in the first instauce should be taken by the civil authorities, which, in mv opinion can be done under the Act of the Gen eral Assembly of this State, ratified August 24th, 18CS, forbidding the conspiring of persons by, force or otherwise, to prevent the execution of the laws of the State, and making it a high crime to engage in rebellion or insurrection against the authority thereof. a he Constitutional ri:ht of all citizens to the possession of arms for proper purposes, does not extend to the perfecting of organizations, armed with weapons of a purely military character, ?ucn as "lose reported as having been received m ucu unusual quantities at Wilmington and other points, otherwise batteries and regiments inay be formed with equal propriety, inimical to the government, while it calmly awaits the fate """" "J U'VT' K. , . 1.. 4 1 l -ioi i mr course, it win unuouDteaiy ne claimed uy these parties that their motives arc nerfeetlv . .... . . i resist the law or otherwise interfere with the peace and quiet of their respective localities maintaining political preferences cannot be ques tioned, but when pushed to the present extremi- ty, assuming hostile positions towards .the gov ernment, prompt condemnation on the part of all good citizens should follow.

The result of the State elections to-day, in Fenn sylvnia, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska, will have considerable influence on the Presidential elec tion the Sd of November. The canvass in those States lias been conducted with much vigor by both parties, and each felt that the result was important. If the Democrat carry Pennsylvania, Ohio and In diana, or either two of them, the election of Seymour and Rlair is certain; but if the Republicans carry them, the election of Grant and Colfax is probable. We believe this is tho idea of all who have watched the canvass at the North. The result will be known here on Wednesday or Thursday morning, and we .shall publish an extra containing the news. Our patrons can call or send for a copy. ' ' m New Kixi of Cotton. Mr James Hood of this county, showed us . last week a specimen of. a new kind of Cotton in this section. It is called "Wool Cotton' and is nearly the color of wool. It is said by cotton dealers to be a superior article. Mr Hood got the seed from a traveler who passed through his neighborhood last year. Coming Back. Last week four families . reached this place, on their way to Chatham county, from which point they emigrated to Indiana some three years ago. They are sufficiently amused with that part of the country, and sny hundreds would return to the old North State if they had the means. Still there arc discontents in every neighborhood who wish to try their luck in a new State. JrtenLoro rutnot. Just as we predicted twelve months ago. Our readers will remember that we always said thut those who were removing from this State would be glad to get back after awhile. Recently we have beard of several persons, who removed to Texas, Georgia Indiana, Illinois, &c., w ho intended to return to this section of North Carolina The fact is, there is no better place in the world than good old North Carolina; and if people will go to work and use the same exertions that are used by emigrants to Western and South-western States, they will succeed just as well and enjoy many more com forts and advantages. Let us all remain in the '01d Land," and assist c&&h Atkcr in getting public af fairs right and straight. The eun never shone on a better section of country thaa N-ortb Carolina, and tncre are no better people in the world. Some of thk Advantages of Advebtising Last week we inserted an advertisement for a gentle man who wanted to buy a Cotton G'w, Persons having such a Machine for sale were requested to apply i this OfSce. Within two days after the ad vertisement was published we had six applications. We .merely state the fact for the information of any one who wants to sell an v thine or buv anything Let the public know what you want to sell or what you want to buy.

Every man who expects to vote in the Presidential election on the 3d day of November must register be fore that day. Previous .registration will not do for this election. The Registration of voters will com mence on the 15th of October and continue till the 3d of November. Voters must be challenged before the Registrars previous to the election. No voter can be challenged on the day of election if bis name is on the registered lint. , Every male person born in the United States, and any male person who has been naturalized, twenty tone years old or upwards, who shall have resided in the State twelve months next preceding the election, and thirty days in the county in whieh he, offers to vote, is entitled, to vote. .The .Howard amendment docs not prevent any one from voting, but it pre vents certain classes from holding office. Each voter must vote at the precinct in which he is registered, unless he gets a certificate from the Registrar that his name has' been registered at a certain precinct. In order to prevent the gathering of a large crowd in this City en the day of election (or in any other city or town in the State) we suggest that voters register and vote at the Precincts in which they re side, as the law directs. This plan will give all an opportunity to vote without confusion or difficulty. Mr. Shober's Speech. F. E. Shober, Esq., the Democratic candidate for Congress in this District, addressed a respectable audience at the Court House in this City on Wed nesday evening last. Mr Shober was on his return from Union county, (where he addressed a large crowd on Tuesday,) and although the notice of his speaking here was short, a considerable number turned out to hear him. We have never listened to a better political speech than that made by Mr Shober on Wednesday night. He indulged in no abuse of any one, nor dealt in epithets of any sort, but stated his objections to the practices and principles of the Republican party in euch plain language, and his arguments and illustra tions were so forcible, comprehensive and fair, that we think be does good wherever he speaks. He spoke kindly of his opponent, jNJr Boyden, and stated his position correctly. - Mr Shober, in his addresses, sets an example which, if followed by public speakers generally, would tend more to produce toleration and good feei ng than strife and enmity. JBQT'R. R. Rea, Esq, has been appointed Colonel of Militia for Mecklenburg county in place of Gen. Barringer declined. . ii. JBF" The Hon. John Quincy Adams, conservative candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, passed through this State last week, on his way to South Carolina to address the people of that State. He spoke at the Democratic meeting in Salisbury on lhursday last. JS-j?" We learn that the reason persons have not received their freight by Express over the Seaboard & Roanoke Railroad is, that that Road advanced the charges on the Express Company to such an extent that they could not pay it in justice to their patrons. This accounts for the failure to transport oysters, &c. Some of the Evils. The election of Judges by the people will lead to corruption and degradation of the office to 6uch an extent that but few, if any, will have much respect for the decisions and honesty of our Judges. "A new comer into this State named Tourgce, was elected Superior Court Judge at the last election. There was no evidence that he was a man qualified for the position or that he even had agood character; but he was elected by partizan voters. But not satisfied with that much, he has become a candidate for Congress aud is going about electioneering and delivering violent political harangues. Is not such conduct unbecoming a man who holds the office of Judge, who is to decide vital and important matters Let ween man and man, and who ought to be above uspicion. Common decency aud respect for the office would demand that a Judge should resign be fore pitching into the political arena as an office seeker and bandying epithets and black-guardism with his opponents. We merely call the attention of the people to this subject, all of whom arc presumed to bo interested in maintaining good government and a pure judiciary with the hope that they will see the propriety of applying a remedy against the evils wdiich threaten us It is no mere party matter, but one in which men of all parties should feel an interest. False. We see that Gen Kilpatrick, in speeches at the North, attempts to create mirth by describing the capture of Gov. Vance by Federal troops at the close of the war. He says he captured Vance and tamed him by riding him 20O miles on a bare-backed mule. The statement is a false one, and of course (Jen. Kilpatrick knows it. Gov. ance was never captured by any one. " After the war was over he was arrested at his home in Statesville and carried to Washington and kept in prison for awhile. Wonder if Gen. Kilpatrick tells his hearers about the capture of a woman he was carrying along with him through South aud North Carolina, and palaiing her on" as his wife. Strife in the Camp. The Republican party in the 1st and 5th Districts have two candidates in each District in the field for Congress. C. L. Cobb and J. R. French in the 1st, and W. F. Henderson and Judge Tourgee in the 5th Cobb and Henderson are the regular nominees. Judge Barnes is the Democratic candidate in the 1st District, and Col. Livingston Brown in the 5th, and the prospect of their election is good if both Re publican candidates continue to run. But we see that the Republican State Executive Committee have held a meeting in Raleigh and recommended the w ithdrawal of French in the 1st District, and nomin ated a new man in the 5th District Hon. I. G. Lash of Salem, who is the present Representative. They advise the Republicans to discard botli Henderson and Tourgee. inai s oacaing one b incuus wuu a vengeance. Sowing Wheat. A correspondent of the Times makes the following suggestion in rgard to sowing Wheat. We think the matter is worthy of serious attention, aud hope our farmers will think about it, as this is about the lime for sowing wheat: Jt is A ragular fact that for several years past our wheat crops have signally laiieu. mis may De owing in some degree to a defective system of agri culture, bad plowing, the want of harrowing the soil, nfl the absence of fertilizers. But the chief cause is believed to be the defective aed sown by some of our farmers. Many of our farmers continue to sow same seed year after year until they are "worn out." The wheat of this country is certainly defec tive, and should be changed by nearly all our far mera. I am pleased to see that W. W. Pegram ad TPrtisps superior Virginia wheat for sale at the depot. and hope our farmers will try a change of seed. and see ii me resmi uc uui jjruir uvi mmavtvij. Kg- TJ. S. District Court, Hon. George W. Brooks, will commence its semi-annual term in Newbern, Monday the 26th of October. Government Expenses-. One of the most important subjects for the serious consideration of the American people of all parties, is the enormous expenditures of public money by those elected by the people to make laws and govern the country. Oar rulers are piling up a .debt that will oppress tax-payers with an enormous burden, unless something is speedily done to stop it and exer cise more economy in public affairs. Look at the action of our own State Legislature, at the late session.- Several millions of dollars were appropriated for various objects, whilt the State Treas ury was actually empty, axd at thk vert time WHEX thk Public Tbeascber had to bobbow from a Raleigh Broker $100,000 to fat current ex penses. Can any one can the hard-working peo ple who pay the taxes--approve or justify such con duct on the part of legislators ? Also, look at the millions being spent every month by our National authorities. The Washington In telligencer makes the following showing of monthly and yearly expenses : "We are enabled to, state, upon reliable official authority, that the expenditures last month were $28,485,000. . There was no interest to pay last month on the public debt. Army transportation, of course, formed a . large part, but it will be much heavier when the winter season sets in. The average monthly interest upon the national debt is about $11,000,000. Add this to the above sum of current expenditures $28,500,000 and we have near $40,000,000 as the expenditure that falls upon September. This sum, multiplied by the num ber of months in the year, gives $480,000,000, about the sum estimated by Mr Deliuar. , The average for the last three years has been $400,000,000." And a dispatch from Washington, under date of October 5th, say 3": . " "Hon. Robert J.j Walker, Secretary of the Treas ury under Mr Polk's administration, by consent of Secretary McCulloeh, Las made an examination of the books of the Treasury Department. The result of his examination fully sustains Mr Delmar's state ment. Mr Walker's statement indicates that at the present rate of increase the debt will be doubled in fourteen years,1 long before which, unless better counsels prevail, the government will be bankrupt." Is it not time for tho people, without regard to party, "color, race or previous condition," to demand more economy from their officers. Let each indi vidual talk over this matter, take a personal inter est in it, and hold their public officers to a strict ac count, and we are sure a reform can be effected. Registrars and Managers of Election. At. a meeting of the Board of County Commis sioners for Mecklenburg county, held October 5th, the following persons were appointed Registrars and Managers of the Election in Mecklenburg to be held on the 3d day of November, 1868, for President and Congressman: - REGISTRARS.

Meade has issued Order No. 37, which distributes the forces under his command to points which he deems necessary, in order to the enforcement of order, kc.

The d eceased descended from one of the most intelligent and wealthy families of the State of which her husband was the talented and honored representative. She was a lady of high social posi tion, excelleut education, and attractive manners. Naturally of a kind and amiable disposition, she en deared herself to her friends, and her character pro gressively improved by the dilligcnt cultivation of the graces of the spirit. Her heart glowed with benevolence and warmed with every generous emo tion, aud her hand was open to dispense favors to all who were in distress. For thirty , years fhe was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and a decided Christian as well as active in all efforts for its pros perity, she was one of its brightest ornaments and principal supporters. There was no call to which her noble impulses did not respond, nor a benevo lent enterprise with which she did not co-operate. She hath done what she could her record is on high and her name in the book of life. From the tomb she speaks with a "still small voice" and urges survivors to prepare for judgment and eternity. 'Thou'rt gone to the grave, we no longer behold thee, Nor tread the rough path of the world by thy side; But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold thee, And sinners may hope since the sinless has died.' - .
