The following handsome tribute to the I memory of . Maj. Joseph A. Engelhard Was rendered on i i Wednesday at the meeting of the Pre.-s Association in Goldtlor. It is the re port of a special committee consisting of Capt. S. A. Ashe, .of the Raleigh OUer tr, Mr. C. T. C. Deike, of tbe Roan Mount tin R jinbtican, and llenry A. fiondon, Jr., Esq ,of the Chatham Ilecord. Oa)t Ahe reported as follows : Joseph Adulphus Engelhard was born al MoGticelio, Mississippi, on the 27th day of September, il832, and diea at Kaleigh. North Cirolina, on February, 15tb, 1879. His diys of boyhcKid were passed tirat in Misis?ippi, and then at New Albauy, in ludiana, where he was prepared for col'ee, and whence he cam to Chapel Uill in 1850. lie graduated with distinction in the clat-s of 1854 with Col. Wm. L. Saunders Wm. E. Anderson, I R. B. Sauudert;, It. II. Battle, Jr., a: d others who have achieved fame and honors in their various pursuits in life. By his associations at Chapel Hill he became warmly attached to North Caro lina and to our North Carolina people. He studied law first at Harvard, then re turned to his A' ma Jdutcr, aud under the supervision of Hon. Wm. II. Battle, continued his preparations for' entering the bar, which was his chosen profession. Desiring, however, to be armed cap-a-pie, he preferred to pursue further course under Judge Fowle before apply ing for his license. He was admitted JtD tbe bar in 1856, and at once located at Tarboro, where he remained until the be ginning of hostilities in 1861. : On the 26tK of September, 1855, he married Miss Margaret Eliza (jotted, daughter of John W. Cot ten, Esq, ot Raleigh, by whom he had two daughters and two sons, who, together with Mrs. Engelhard, survive him. j In May, lbOl, he entered the service of Noith Carolina as Captain and Quarter rn?ster of the iod Regiment, la ih fol lowing April he was promoted to Brigade Quartei master of Gen. Branch's Brigade , and in December, 18G2, he Wi.stransferied as Adjutant General to Pender's Brigade, accepting a reduced rank to get in the held. ; I In May, 180o, on Pender's promof'on to aj Major-General he became Adjutant to Pender's Division, af erwards Wilcox's 'Division, which office he continued to ffl until the tiual surrender at Appomattox. Ilis militaiy services were gratefully ap preciated by bis commanding officers, and in particular was he distinguubed for con spicuous gauantiy on the terrible held of Gettysburg, where he had hi harse killed under him, and where ha j entered the enemy's works, leacii'g the right of thar, division of our troops. To him the honor was accorded of writing tne official tepoit of the heroic achievements of the division on tese three days ot sanguinary conflict. In 1S65, the canvass for the convention, comii g on, Maj r Engelhard took the stump and fairly launched his bark on the politic d seas of the Old North State. On the assembling or the Legislature iu 105, he w&s lected Secretary of the SenaLe to which position Le w?s re-elected in lfeOT lu December, lbt, he hud purchased an iuterest in the Wilmington Join aal aud from that dqite Wilmington became his home and place ! oi' residence. He con tinued the editor of that paper until 1S76, in the summer of which year he was nom inated for Secretary of State, to which office he was elected in the.followiug No vember, lie remained in th' office un il his death. j At the inception of this Association he played an important paifc and perhaps contributed more to its formation than any other person connected with the Prens. He was our tirst President, and continued in office far several rms, and no one ever exhibited greater zeal lor its successful operation than himte't". Such is the brief biography of our de c:aed brother who ban only preceded us a tew short days in the journey a'ongthe d-rk and lonely way. Apparently in the full flush of ruddy health tie was cutdown by astudden blow and parsed away forever. 01 our deceased brother we may well say, the grave has taken from us no no Uer victim for no greater heart, no more determined spirit, no more manly man has gone hence than him whoai we delighted to call our friend and whose less we now so deeply mourn. In life, Maj. Erjgelh rd was an earnest worker. He seems to have early re cognized that capacity to perform is of but slight advantage unltss sustained by habits of constant mlustry. In whatever field of labor we may choo o to view him, we find him success ful not moderately, but emine tlyjand this success which so mark's his career all through life, is directly traceable to his persistent attention to the matter in hand. As a journalist he achieved high fame. It is a laborious profession; but he was by education and habits well qualified to an swer its strictest requirements. His suc cess -in that difficult role is acknowledged by all lor but few papers in North Carolina ever had a stronger personal following er greater ; influence than the Wilmington JousxaL when couducted by Joseph A. Engelhard. Here he real ized a proper conception of an editorial career .He was a tribune.of the people. No one dared approach him with' any sinister proposition! On no occasion did he ever depart from that line of action w hich he believed led to the attainment of those objects whieh constituted the happiness and promoted the welfare of the people of North Carolina. "He would have scorned to prostitute liis high position of the leading i editor ot Review.' i his. beloved State' to the advancement of any enterprise or the promotion of any object which could in any manner impede his people in their progress to material independence, from out of the ruin and dis:tter that hd overtaken them. Tn him, a free, untramraeled, and un shackled Press was committed, and he ever kept his precious charge like a g il ia!. t kuight and chivalrous gentleman. His journalistic course was unstained by any servile subserving to ambitious men, and untarnished by the dishonor of sacrificing public interests to feecure per sonal enus. Born a freeman, born a gentleman, ennobled by . a long career among men of honor, amid the carnage of battle and in the presence of death, he would have regarded it the most shame ful of personal dishonors to have surren dered his precious character of freeman and geDtleuan aud: to have prostituted at once himself and his press by advocating any measure that 'did not have for its object the advancement of North Caro lina, j ! His people appreciated his high worth and great services, ; and when he first sought office at their hands bestowed upon him the position of Secretary of State, then ranked among the most desirable of political offices, becaiiseof its emoluments and important duties. These duties he discharged to the utmost satisfaction. Tbere never was a more faithful and efficient officer with'n our borders than Joseph A. Eugelhard. Others may have equalled him, but in official, excellence certainly none ever excelled him. His character was sound aud symmetric cal. .Faithful in Iriendships, "indulgent, kind, loving at home, honorable among men, and distinguished no less for a fine and discriminating judgment than by al determined and forceful activity, he was indetd au honor to our profession, an honor to Carolina and an honor to man kind. His loss vo mourn; his, memory ve will cherish; his virtues we will emu a e, and his many excellencies we will bear in loving remembrance, so that we may, perhaps, learn fram his j example howl est to illustrate, ennoble and ador the high profession to1 which we are called. We submit the following resolutions:1 llesolved, That in .the death ol Joseph A. Engelhard this Association has lost an esteemed member, the profession of jour nalism an honored name, the jstate gov ernment an efficient, faithful and incor ruptible officer, and the people of North Carolina a worthy citizen ardently devoted to tbeir interests, jealous of their honor and full ol'zeal for thefadvaucement of their happiness and welfare. ' i ! kesolced, That we sympathize.deeply, ith his bereaved family in their distress and sore affliction, and that the Secre tary oi this as. ociation be directed to send a copy of thede resolutions to Mrs. Englt hard. Resolved, That the press of tbe State be requested to print these resolutions. Wilmington, N. C. t With this him Die caption Major Creecv. a a v of the Elizabeth City Economist, goes for our people most unequivocally in fact, we may say, regardless of conpequences. But he does it as he does everything very handsomely and we know that he will pardon us for reproducing here his re marks. Need we say with how much de light we would all hail an intimate com mercial intercourse with the good people of his section, and how fervently we hope that such a thing may yet come to pass? Here is Major Creecy's handsome refer ence to our ciy and people; No town in North Carolina or elee where has exhibited more business energy and enterprise than Wilmington. It has always been most liberal in its contribu tions to all works designed to deveope the slumbering resources of the State. When in the infancy of progress, its sub scription to its first railroad jexceeded the value of its real estate. It was a bold executien of fbe dictates of a wise fore caste. This was in its infancy, before it became one of the recogniz-d places of commercial importance. - Now that its commercial importance has become estab lished and ''s'fureign and domestice trade has placed it in the front rank of sea-, board cities the same active and enterpris ing spirit! characterizes its people. It wa'ches its interests. It is jealous of its tiade.j And it is, if we see aright, bearing off thej palm from active competitors in and out of the State. At present, tbe Albemarle section has co trade .connection with Wilmington, except during the corn trade of the jwin ter, and strangely enough, that trade has not produced other connection; but the day, we are sur, i not distant, when we shall be brought by iron bands in iuti mate daily relations, and wben Wilming ton and Edenton, Elizabeth City, Ply. mouth and the other Albemarle towns will be (connected by rail anji inland wa ter routes and become united by business and bocja! ties. The Crops. Mr. WTinton, proprietor ol the Dining Saloon at the Front street depot, informs us that the crops iu the vicinity of Wilson, where be has a plantation, were never in a better nor more prosperous condition than at present. The only danger now is that too much rain may injure the cotton His own crop will be the best he has ever made, if the season continues Uvorable,. 22, 1879. NO. 168 In the Mail. An amphibious animal, ycleped a 'ter rapin by the polite but a 'tar'pin' by those who'de d in the article, was found this morniDg in the .mail from the South. It is alive and still kicking and awaits a claimant. The owner will please come out ot his shell and make himself known and call for his property. City Court. Alderman Bowien, Mayor pro tern, presidium. Charles Hill was before the Mayor pro tern this morniug, in obedience to an order j issued to the Chief -of Police yesterday, and after an examination of one or two witnesses was told to go and sin no more. One case of drunkenness and disorderly conduct was continued until Tuesday. This finished the business and the Court adjourned. The best 'VinJows, Dxrs and Blinds and Lowest If rices can be got at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. J New Steamer Launched. The steamer John Dawson was launch- i ed at Point Caswell on yesterday. She is 78 feet long by 18 feet wide and 4 feat deep. She was built and is owned bjCapt. R. P. Paddison and David Sherman, Esq., and will be ready for used by the middle of October. The John Datcson was built for speed and strength and will be run in connection with the steamer his on the Black River, j She will be supplied with two twelve inch cylinders and was named in honor of our townsman, Hon. Jno. Dawson. ' That Alligator. It seems that the alligator which has for some time past "roosted' luuder the wharf of the New York Steamship Line, was mortally wounded by Mr. Small-, bones when be shot at him the other day. The body rose the next day just in front of the wharf and drifted some distance down the river where it waa discovered and secured by Mr. Burnett, a fisherman Mr. Smallbones has the skeleton of the head as a trophy of the event. Tbe 'gator was between five and six feet in length and is said to be a young one. Window Glass of all sizes at Jacobi's Hardware Depot, j I Shipments of Fine Straw. The shipment of pine straw from this port to New York, heretofore mentioned by us, is assuming very considerable pro portions, Ihe steamship Bcr 'factor took out 122 bales on her last tripjand tne Regulator will carry out 50 bales. Ap plication was made for freight room jfor 100 but 56 was all she could take of the lot. . ! This straw is brought here loose and is baled in the eity. It is green and is what is known as "longrdeaf pine." The bales are heavy and weigh from 700 to 800 pounds. More or the storm. Daring the recent gale, the schooner Zorei20,Capt. Russell, was lying at an chor in New River. The violence of the storm was sucb that she dragged her an chor and, unfortunately, It became foul ed under the schooner and knocked holes in her bottom, so that she sank. The vessel is badly damaged, as is also the cargo, one was suns in shoal water, not far from the shore, and will probably be raised and repaired. Tbe Captain, writing from Swansboro, states that all the small craft caught in the storm south of Cape, Hatteras are capsized. We are under obligations to the officers of the Signal Service in this city for the courtesy of the above information, ' The Texas Traveler at Beaufort. The Beaufort refugees are beginning to tell some of the funny incidents in con nection with the recent serious disaster as their scare wears off. The "Texas Travel er" slept through most of the storm and was 'aroused by a piece of tbe plaster- ing of tbe wall falling on him. He felt the bouse shaking and hopping out of bed grabbed the first thing which came to baud and which afterwards proved to be a dresi spike tail coat. He threw it around h:m as he ran down the steps and soon was standing around in the crowd. It was discovered that the coat waa all of outer clothing be had on and the des. cription of the figure be cut hia "claw hammer coat and white unmentionables is enough to relax the risibles of an Egyptian mummy. j The curbstooe jbfokrs in eatables rale the city and block up the sidewalks with their garbage boxes and barrels.
