He was frank, perpendic ular, decided, brave, without guile arid without hypocrioy. He had that sort of magnetism that drew men to him and held them faithful to the end. He was as true as steel to those he called friends, and his lib erality was as open as day and as free as water. He married Eaphania W., daughter of the late Thomas W. White, founder of the Southern Lit erary Messenger. She survives him, as do also his two sons, Lieut. Gov. Stedman and Frank H. Stedman, and two daughters. He was a North Carolinian, and when he took an active part in poli tics was influential and popular. He resided in Chatham until about 1851, when he removed to Fayetteville. Fiom that time until his death he lived at his last home. He rarelv left Fayetteville except to pay an occasional visit to Wilmington. He was a man of excellent sense and sterling qualities, and in his death the State loses a valuable citizen, a true patriot and an honest man. An Eastern: UaAoraemeat. New Bern Journal.

Pursuant to announcement a pub lie meeting as fceld yesterday at noon In the rooms ot the Produce Ex change. . Mr. J. H. Currie, Jn calling the meeting to order, said that they had assembled to consider a question that Was of vital importance not only to this community, but to every person in the State.,. It was an assemblage of business men to: consider, if It would not be wlse and proper to call a mass meeting of citizens to de cide whether we should take action in the matter of the extension of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad io tnis city. Charleston, he said, was making strenuous efforts to induce tne railroad company to make that place its seaboard terminus. There was no doubt about the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley road making connec tion with Cincinnati and the Great West, and there was no doubt about the company desiring to make this city the eastern terminus of thpfr road, although the cost of the exten sion will be much greater than the proposed line to Charleston. Just as soon as Wilmington agrees to do what id right and reasonable In the matter the railroad company wpuld do everything in their power to push on the work. Dr. A. J. DeRosset was called to the chair. He urjred that stens hp taken to secure the extension of the road to this city. There was necessity ior immediate action. He did not believe there was a man present who did not want the road to come here and who was not ready to assume his share of the responsibility. It was natural and proper that the road should come to Wilmington. If the terminus was fixed anywhere else, he, for one, would ask that the name of the road should be changed. But we I were nere to call a meeting of all the citizens, to settle the question as to the sense of the community in the matter. At the conclusion of Dr. DeRos set's remarks, Mr. Currie moved that a committee of five be appointed, consisting of Messrs. D. G. Worth, J. W. Atkinson, Win. A. French, F. Rheinstein and Pembroke Jones, to prepare resolutions to . call a mass meeting of citizens, to be held that evening. Col. Roger Moore suggested that it would be better to leave the time of meeting to the committee. Mr. S. H. Fishblate said that it was important to take action soeedilv. The Board of Aldermen and the Board of Audit and Finance would meet next Mondav and th mat for should be In shape to be laid before them. Col . Atkinson said that he did not approve of acting hurriedly in the matter. The meeting ought not to be held earlier than Monday night. Alter further discussion it was de cided to leave the matter with the committee, and the motion to ap point the gentlemen named to Dre- pare resolutions to be presented to a meeting of citizens to be called by the committee, was adopted unani mously, arid the meeting adjourned. 2 nmwax conn.
