There was a great torchlight dem
onstration in Macon, Ga., Thursday
nifht, in honor of ex-President Davis;
Henry Jackson,, ex-Minister to
Mexico, delivered a speech to the Con
federate veterans, in which he claimed
that they fought for a just cause, and
that the day of final triumph would
yet come. Argument in the Jake
Sharp application for a' new trial,,
was hegun in the New York. Court of
Appeals yesterday. The corner
stone of the Lee monument : was laid'
in Richmond yesterday ; the weather
was very inclement, but the military
ami civic demonstration' was morev
imposing than was ever before wit
nessed in Virginia's capital. Hen
ry Jackson, the paying teller of the'
Sub-Treasury in New York, has made
his escape to Canada with ten thou-
sand dollars of the government's
funds; he was one of the trusted of-

cases of yellow fever at Tampa on

are nineteen cases in the hospital.
. Owen Manning, a convict -at the
North Carolina penitentiary, was shot
and killed yesterday while attempt-?
ing to escape. In "the -jChieago
market yesterday little of special in
terest was developed ; "wheat opened
steady, com was moderately active
and firm, and there was a. slight ad
vance in provisions. A New York
evening paper states that over four
hundred passengers from a cholera
infected port were recently landed in
that city, and scattered over the coun
try. Argument was commenced
yesterday in the U. S. Supreme Court
in the anarchists' cases ; J. Randolph
Tucker opened in support of the pe
tition for a writ of error, and was fol
lowed by Attorney-General Hunt in
behal f of the State of Illinois ; each,
side will be allowed three hours for
argument. -:A funeraj procession

When a Republican who snpport
el G:ant cannot stand Blame, Sher
man and Foraker, it shows that those
three must be indeed hard political
cases. Perhaps it also indicates some
raoral n formation. Ex-Gov. Cham
ber! ain, the famous South Carolina
'carpet bagger and a graduate of Har

A (subscriber at Wilson writes" on

of his health. Oar friend writes:'

Charles Dickens is not a success as
a reader. He was received by a bril
liant gathering of hearers at Chick
ering Hall,' Y. "Nym Crinkle"
says in the World: ' .
. ''Alr. Diekcns is ayodng man not above
the medium height, with a round, intelli
gent face, utterly devoid of the foppishness
that characterizad his father- when he first
came to America. He looks like a hearty;

not resonant; and hia articulation is not
crisp and distirct, He lacks the delibera
tion of his father and that inimitable rap
port with the tenderness and homeliness of
the scenes which gave to the Elder Dick
ens such a charm in recital. He was gen
erously treated by hia audience, and loud
ly applauded for his work when ho was
done." - - -
$ The Times has a long article upon
him; if "We copy a sentence or two: ;
"Mr. Charles Dickens,. if his name hap
pened to be John Bmith, would , not be a
formidable rival of any one of the public
readers and elocutionists now popular at
Chickering Hall and in the rural lyceums
That he bears the same name as the
author of the works, and of his being, ia a
strong point in his favor. It appears at
this time to be the only point'
' We regret to know that lectures of
the high kind do- not take in the
South.' This is particularly the case
in North Carolina Or. Shepherd,
-for instance, will lecture in a North
Carolina town to empty benches, but
in New York and New England to
crowded houses. By the way, as we
learn from an Oawegp, N. Y., paper,
when he delivered his last lecture be
fore Saavedr College he had some
thing of an ovation. The students
gathered around him to express orally
the pleasure and profit they had de
rived from his long series of lectures.
The President also spoke in very
earnest praise of oar eminent South
ern scholar and writer, and this was
most heartily applauded.
Mr. Davis is much esteemed in
South Carolina as its press bears
witness. We find in the Charleston
Daily Sun extracts of a letter from
a Charlestonian to his daughter. We
can find space only for a part. This
gentleman writes:
"I cannot understand how any high
hearted man who loved and venerated him
once can now disparage or abuse or even
apologize for him. If he sinned, so did
we, and God knows he nas-suffered more
than we. No, my dear, while he lives I'll
hurrah for him, and when be dies, if I live.
I'll wear a badee of mourning for him for
whom I once was willing to die, and for
whom I now am wuhne to neat. And
yet I'd fight for the 'Stars and Stripes' now
as I did lor the 'stars and liars' men, and
that's more than those who now abuse him
either did or would do. Cofound them.
Never join in a laugh or sneer at Jeff Davis
for my sakeu for no other."
Miss Fanny Hnnt D'Alma is the
name of the yonng prima donna flat
teringly spoken of in public prints.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
"She has earned for herself the title of
"The Song-bird of the South." She has a
pure and high soprano, of great strength
and compass, and Of the best instruction,
having been a pupil of Garcia, of Paris.
She is also gifted with considerable dram
atic talent. The scion of an old and dis
tinguished family of the South, educated
in luxury, and to great moneyed expecta
tions, reverse of fortune cast her upon ner
own resources, and, depriving her of
wealth, enriched the public fctock of art
treasure. Miss D Alma is about to begin a
conceit tour, opening at Nashville early in
November."
We have been favored with a
ticket to the Seventh Annual Fair of
the Rocky Mount Agricultural and
Mechanical Association to be held on
the 16th, 17th and 18th of November
next. We are pleased to learn that
there is excellent prospect for a very
successful fair. Raleigh, Goldsboro,
WeWdh and Tarboro Fairs will all
contribute to make the Rocky Mount
Fair a big thing. It will afford us
pleasure to attend if within our
power as we hope now it will be.
We rejoice in the success of the

- The longest-lived of -our State

past, is the Wilmington Mobniko
Stab, and it shows no signs of being
on the wane. During the past month
a goodly number of rtmr . State con
temporaries have alluded t6 its twen
tieth anniversary of publication in a
manner that exhibits a very marked
degree of personal regard for its edi
tor. If these congratulations as well
as those for a number of years were
collected into h scrap-book, after the
manner: Mr; Childs has been doing
with notices of his paper, the Phila
delphia Ledger, they wonld form an
interesting souvenir of its kind. We
have more than once during the last
two years expressed our opinion of
the Stab, bo J. do not care to repeat J
what we have already said and must
cut short our congratulations by sin
cerely wishing it a continuance in its
good work and successful manage
ment. We need, not Bay more, we
could not say less.

Contrary to all expectation and.de-
Ire rain again set in yesterday and
continued until midnight with no
signs of a cessation.' Early yesterday
morning the ; general ' appearances
were for a time favorable for at least
fair if not clear weather. But the
wind continuing from the northeast,
the sky towards noon again assumed
a deeper leaden hue and'shortly after
1 o'clock a drizzling rain set in which
continued until towards, sunset when
it turned into a steady fall of rain.
This lasted for about three hours
with little variation, when it again
turned into a mere sprinkle.
The rain throughout this Cotton
Belt yesterday was- more uniform
than on the preceding day. " It gen
erally ranged from .30 to .57 of an
inch. Salisbury was the only place
which reported - more than an inch
1.2i lnehes. The total rainfall in this
city up to 10 o'clock last night was
.75 of an Inch,
The loeal indications at midnight
were precisely the same as they have
been for several nights.. The Signal
Office reports the barometer still be
tween twenty and thirty hundredth
above normal, which naturally tends
to fair weather. But with the north
easterly winds the rain may continue
still longer.

the ingenuity of the ladies can sug
gest and their skiuf ui beads can ex

so gracefully by Mrs. J. B. W hi taker,
Jr., we noticed lambrequins, especial
ly one of straw, hand embroidery,
silk embroidery, banners, pin cush
ions, drawn linen, chereille work,
embroidery slippers and chairs. Some
of these of perfect workmanship. We
noticed some of these of such fine
quality that we were tempted to give
them special mention, but refrain
from want of space.
Miss Jennie Wilson, with great
kindness, showed your correspondent
the articles under her care, among
which were noticeable for the fineness
of their execution some hand-painted
lambrequins and patchwork tidies,
afghans, crocheted quilts and fasci
nators.' It ought not to seem Invidious when
we say that thoee who had paintings
and drawings to exhibit were fortu

which in number and merit far exceed
anything of thecind ever exhibited
